    Frame 21:25 showed what appeared to be a briefing of SAC bomber crews at Hunter AFB, in Savannah, Ga., during the missile crisis. The reason I know this is the dark haired man, seated without a flight jacket on, in the front row who looks at his watch, was my father. I just happened to watch this show tonight and happened to look up at the right moment. I replayed it 3--4 times to conform. He was a B-47 Navigtor.

      Yes, in the red army it is a low rank, comparable to a 2nd lieutenant in western armies. There are a lot of them, and they have less experience and training than western Captains.

    Thankfully in the 60’s, the US had 2 Presidents who thought calmly and did NOT want ANY nuclear war. In the Cuban Missile Crisis, the head of the Military, War Hawk, Curtis LeMay encouraged Kennedy to Nuke Cuba and maybe the Soviets. Luckily Kennedy wasn’t about to do that. Just a few years later, LeMay told Johnson to Nuke North Vietnam! That time LeMay was dismissed-Thank God! I was 13 and living near a Missile base during the Cuban Crisis. We were sure the Russians were going to bomb the base any day. We were all terrified as no 13 year olds ever should be.

    • @gregpaul882
      @gregpaul882 Год назад +2

      That’s LeMay’s job though. You want generals who will do anything to win wars. It’s the presidents job to moderate that and consider political realities. Don’t confuse soldiers and political activists.

      @annehersey9895 Год назад

      @@gregpaul882 You have a point of course-that’s why the US doesn’t have a lot of Presidents who were career military. But LeMays answer to everything was NUKE EM! That’s what started the firing of Mac Arthur by Truman. Mac wanted to bomb North Korea and maybe China n Truman said NO! THEN Mac started badmouthing Truman publicly so he gave Truman no choice.

      Because he was a GRU officer and this documentary pertains to the KGB. GRU being independent of the other soviet intelligence beaurocracies. And GRU (1917 - 1992), military intelligence geared towards foreign threats, did not involve itself in internal security of the Soviet bloc.
