Yes, that was a stupid thing to say loolaluftwaffe. If you think other wise then read up on it and you will see they did, not just for army's around the world but for you and me too.

I think the US were the ones who designed mass destruction, the Atom bomb. Look at the **** that spawned from it.

Ahem...The US was not the only nation working on atomic weaponry, we were just the first to make it work. Let's think a bit more about this, shall we. Who were the main players in the development? Some of them were Jews that Germany were persecuting, and they got out while the getting was good.

You also need to remember that while the atomic bomb was the first project, nuclear energy came from that same set of experiments. Also other medical uses for the technology came about.

Now, should we get this back on topic?

The V-2 had no inter-continental capability, the range was not long enough. The A-10 was in development in the dying days of the war which would have been a true ICBM , with a range to hit New York. The system on the A-10 was the same system used on space rockets to this day - after all it was developed by Von Braun, the leading developer in the Saturn 5 project.

And Britain were the first nation to study nuclear energy as a weapon.

Yes, the US were the first to make it work. Actually I were a bit stupid. I think there should have been laws that made nukes illegal to everyone, but the US build so many then the USSR build so many etc. The whole nuke thing makes me sick, because there are so many good things to it and bad things, but the US only used it once and they keep it for protection, but other countries does not.

I wish this bullshit would get end with nukes and I think the world should stop acting like little kids.

Iran, well I say give them what they want, a nuclear technology up there ass and wipe them off the face of the earth and all of those who want to deal with this type of **** in the bad sense.

So yes the US only got there first and they did it for the greater good, but all those who persuaded the nuke weapons were idiots.

evangilder you are right lets get back on the topic.

Henk
