There's just something squicky millennial about laying in the sand watching a cruise missile fly overhead as opposed to, say, half a dozen Buicks full of explosive chugging their way to the target. The physical results may be identical but anybody who has seen serious NGF will attest it's the Fist of God.

I think many of us have affection for platforms family members served on. I built a model of the Douglas B-26 Invader as it appeared over Korea as my grandfather flew in one as an enlisted bombardier-navigator. I hope my nieces and nephew have some for my father's ships.

Google was marking posts dangerous, etc. I can only imagine how many of mine were marked. LOL
