Bullshit, the most famous command in US Navy history uttered by none other than Admiral George Dewey to Captain Charles Vernon Gridley on 1 May 1898 during the battle of Manila bay,
"You may fire when you are ready, Gridley"

Last fall I stood on the very spot were that order was given on the USS Olympia.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

You don't "shoot" a torpedo either-you fire it. Only time you shoot a torpedo is when one is spotted heading for a friendly vessel and you're attempting to detonate it.

Live miles up a dirt road in the desert. We'd bug in. No place to go except if we would have advanced notice. We have enough food and water for weeks. Have a 3500 gallon water tank that fills from our well. Enough ammo and food as well. Remember that there is water in your water heater in case of an emergency. If Trump nucked N. Korea the Libs would go crazy. If they nucked us first the Libs would go crazy and blame him for inaction!

If Trump made a first nuclear strike against any nation, the entire world would go crazy. It would stand a good chance of starting WWIII.

No need to nuke just yet. If we planed our business right it could be done in a few days with conventional explosives.
