        This is interesting in light of controversy abt Trump wanting MIL weapons in his parade. However, 1961 was DEEP in cold war.

        You had to be there. Nuclear attack drills in school (duck and cover). Open atmospheric nuclear bomb tests. Fallout shelters.

        OMG-D this is why DJT wanted the Military for his parade. This is what he remembers from his young years.

        He sure doesn't remember anything now. He is stuck in the 50s and 60s, so if he remembers anything, this would be it.

        Hummm so maybe Trump's team was not off the wall after all in inquiring at DoD re that possibility?
