Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Q fr @HuaqeroGr My BIG Q always was: You, Armstrong, etc...Why risk when there are families behind? It was not a war situation? A: There was a war, son. The Cold War. By maintaining air superiority, we stayed ahead & prepared & a deterrent @usairforce @CharlesDeGualle @FoxNews"

  Thanks, Eisenhower, for cockblocking the army and Air Force, preventing the US from being the first in space.

  The most successful bomber in history is a tie between the Convair B-36 “Peacemaker” and the Convair B-58 “Hustler”, both of which kept us from having a nuclear war, by being ready at a moment’s notice to deliver nuclear bombs anywhere in the world; and consequently never had to.

  The cold war was the best sort of war: it wasn't fought... at least not openly with massive casualties. We did lose people on surveillance missions near Russia and in operational accidents, but staying prepared and strong stopped open warfare and kept the body count low..
