    There were some really stupid questions like "Which tactic involves attacking the enemy from the rear?"

    The answer was flanking attack but flanking always means to attack from the side that is "the flank" not the rear. Ideally you want a L shape so that you minimize the chances for friendly fire.

    don't feel bad MAOHS - flashing something shiny to distract the enemy is the oldest trick in the book.

    Atomic bombs are very shiny. Still took two to distract the Japanese though.

    Experts say North Korea "might" be able to hit Alaska.

    "the commies blinked" is a generally false analysis put forth by members of the Kennedy Admin.

    In reality the Communists got two major things in return for giving up only one.

    They got

    1) A public vow by the U.S. not to attack Cuba.
    2) A nonpublic agreement to remove U.S. intermediate range nuclear missiles from Turkey.

    In exchange for the agreement to withdraw the intermediate range Soviet nuclear missiles from Cuba.

    Considering the IRBMs were not yet operational and a U.S. strike with conventional weapons could've destroyed them in place?

    Costco has now gotten in on the prepper market offering you a one year supply of food, canned, prepackaged into boxes, with a 25 year self life all for $1000. It is delivered to your door one a pallet for easy moving and storage.

    delivered? Great, now the Costco delivery guy knows who to kill to take their stuff so they survive. Well played!

    If something is delivered on a pallet isn't it "easy moving" only if you have a forklift, a front end loader, or at least a pallet jack?

    You'd figure a pallet jack would do the trick as long as there were no steps.

    Doesn't this all assume that the "preppers" home base is easily accessible by a large heavy vehicle?

    Doesn't that kind of go against most "preppers" preparations which from what I read puts substantial importance on preventing easy access?
