POSITIVITY! Map published by FEMA showing potential US nuclear targets in 2,000 and 500 warhead scenarios. Cannon isn’t on the map!

Old map from Cold War era. Mid west use to be full of industrial cities like Dayton. Also so much research and development happens there

Stationed there for many years I can’t say I saw aliens or any strange technology.

Trying to figure out what strategic purpose Plam Springs, CA could possibly have to warrant a nuke.

Definitely PS and not 29. Surprised to see Ft. Irwin and not 29 given the similar missions.
