'Do you ever think about the Boomers?' (Not those Boomers, these Boomers - my words)
'Do you ever think about the Boomers?...I suspect I do more than most which is barely at all...Boomers, of course, are the nickname for Americas fleet of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, which are the most powerful weapons of war in the history of human civilization. Here are their names:USS Henry M. Jackson (SSBN 730), Bangor, WA, USS Alabama (SSBN 731), Bangor, WA, USS Alaska (SSBN 732), Kings Bay, GA, USS Nevada (SSBN 733), Bangor, WA, USS Tennessee (SSBN 734), Kings Bay, GA, USS Pennsylvania (SSBN 735), Bangor, WA, USS West Virginia (SSBN 736), Portsmouth, VA, USS Kentucky (SSBN 737), Bangor, WA, USS Maryland (SSBN 738), Kings Bay, GA, USS Nebraska (SSBN 739), Bangor, WA, USS Rhode Island (SSBN 740), Kings Bay, GA, USS Maine (SSBN 741), Bangor, WA, USS Wyoming (SSBN 742), Kings Bay, GA, USS Louisiana (SSBN 743), Bangor, WA.
Aboard them are men and women from all 50 US states and territories. They are US Navy sailors, and are in the business of deterrence, which means they will be the first to know if Armageddon is at hand...
The commander in chief is the president of the United States. The crew will follow his orders and they will fire the missiles. The American people choose the person who can give that order. Why dont we ever talk about that? Why arent politicians ever asked about it? It is real...
Now watch the captain talk about how the hidden submarine communicates with the commander in chief, receives its orders and prepares to fire. Lest there be any doubt around whether the order to fire would be disobeyed the captain will put your mind to rest. The missiles will be fired:
Donald Trump controls the Republican Party at an institutional level...He is an accused felon facing nearly 100 criminal charges that include being at the center of the greatest criminal conspiracy in American history. He is running on a platform of retribution, revenge, threat and division. His intimations toward violence and chaos will inspire the results he hopes for...We should all think about our Boomers. We should think about the young men and women aboard them. They will survive the first wave. It is said that when the missiles launch, the survivors will envy the dead.
In the end, there is only one American who is ever given the power and discretion to launch the weapons of extinction. That person is the president of the United States of America. What type of sick society would ever invest that power again in a man like Donald Trump.? What type of broken media would pretend the powers of the office dont exist? What type of people are we?'
