Anniversary Noted

For John, BLUF:  It's not like the Soviets were sitting on their hands.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

This is the 65th anniversary of President Truman's decision to develop the hydrogen bomb.

Many think this was a bad decision.  For example, Boston Globe Opinion Writer James Carroll.  On the other hand, Mr Carroll doesn't tell us how he would deal with cheaters.  And, an aging nuclear stockpile.

What this doesn't tell us is when the Soviet Union embarked on this same path.
