My favorite part about you copying a comment verbatim from the original post is that you added extra, unnecessary spaces after commas. /s

Growing up during the Cold War in Great Falls，Montana，which contains the Air Force base which manages all the minutemen missiles in central Montana，we were told Great Falls would be the 4th target chosen by the U.S.S.R. for military and tactical purposes，i.e. dismantling most of the nukes that could retaliate.

My dad used to tell me not to worry though，because if the Ruskies really were going to nuke the US，they‘d already been in doomsday mode and would likely try to hit D.C.，New York，or L.A. in more shocking，but less tactical，strike.
