well, she did practice desk drills growing up but that was in the 1950s and the nuke thread dissipated........the enemy was *the evil empire*. communism. that was a long way from home. this war on terror is right here at home and the enemy isn't an amorphous construct like communism, it's some chechnyan rebels, it's al quada, et al, on&on, it's terrorism of all sorts to be concerned about.
