During the Cold War, I would gaze at the Tropostatic Scatter Scanner and Microwave Antenna that were the sole communication between the 6th Fleet and America as I slowly fell asleep under the steel monstrosities I was sworn to defend.as the desert stretched far and wide.

For those of you have forgotten, we really did have a SecDef named Caspar, known as Cap.

Yeah … sure don’t miss THOSE days …

I’m not so sure at least we knew who our enemies were. Plus the Soviets at least acted rationally instead of who we are fighting today.

Ahh! The good old days of the cold war.

Will Rodgers said ‘Things aren’t what they used to be and what’s more, they never were’.

For Someone, these will be the good old days. And they may even look back on today’s rotten music with nostalgia and longing, while complaining about the rotten music nowadays.

That’s what happened to me.

I was on border guard in Germany with the 2nd Armored Cavalry during the Berlin crisis. Those were definitely the “?” old days.

Would “Sly Fox” be Slylock Fox, using a nickname? Did he call because he found six things wrong in the area where the Sixth Fleet is?

The future’s not what it used to be, either.

Where is that phone plugged into?
