33 Minutes Is All We Have

If a nation were to launch a missile...a single missile at us, it would only take about 33 minutes for it to hit just about anywhere in the USA. Now imagine a chemical war head or a biological war head or even a nuclear war head attached to that single missile.

Now imagine multiple missiles. How would we defend ourselves? Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people would be killed or wounded.

Now imagine the two planes that hit the World Trade Center Towers in 2001 were missles instead of planes. Or imagine those planes had nuclear weapons on board. How many thousands more would have died that day?

There are nations that do not like the USA for good or bad reasons, really doesn't matter. Know they hate us and are actively working to find ways to harm us. Many of our so-called friends secretly do not like us and, if given the right opportunity, would turn on us.

Now imagine we had a way to defend ourselves against such attacks, but we did not. How would you feel? What would you say? Who would you blame?

Without a shield of some kind, we are wide open and you and me and our kids are vulnerable. What will it take for you to wise up, wake up and demand that we arm up?
