bull@@@@ Jim

every movie or account of those days ...........

I don't know what they taught you as a Colonel in the Chemical Corps, b=
ut I was
there on the blockade line (didn't watch some sensational movie version=
) and Jim
speaks truly.

no he doesn't

Yes, he does.

all the accounts of the matter make clear that we traded without
appearing to trade the obselete jupiter bases

It was HARDLY a "trade". We agreed to remove missles that were
already obsolete and unservicible in return for the Russians
dismantallying bases for "state-of-the-art" nuclear arms only 90 from
home.

Try "Missles of Oct" or "13 days" but I have never seen any historical
or fictionalized account of those days that does not deal with that
trade

and assuming you were on the blockade line (I don't know but will give
you the benifit of the doubt) that would be the last place to learn of
such things

"benefit"

The benefit is not yours to give.

it was kept quiet for a time ( a few years) but I have known of the
Jupiters and their trade off since I was 4 or 5 years old or put
another way Under president Nixon in effect the next presidental term
to follow JFK, the event happened before I was born but I learn ed of
the crisis and the trade off at the same time in my youth

Hey Mr Rocket Scientist... The Nixon Presidency was NOT the next
administration for follow JFK.

And nice try about the "...but I have known..." line. Cute...Not
true, but cute!

USA Chemical corps never mentions the misslis of OCT or the cuban
missle crisis at all in training

"missles" "Cuban"

Perhaps because you were never in the "USA Chemical corps", Mr
Pathological Liar. Or have they "reactivated" your "commission" so you
can justify lying in public again...?!?!
