[Redhawk]

Well, I have to agree with Morgan and yes he is correct.  I just asked my lord the walking encyclopedia and he said yes we are still 2nd in command with NORAD.  Montana has a lot of missile sites, several hundred.  MAFB is in charge of strategic air command. This base has several nuc's in their weapons storage unit.  It also helps with fact finding that the wife of a Lt. Col, squad commander boarded her horses with us.  Not that I want to get blown up.  Just stating that HE Morgan is indeed correct.
Redhawk.

"Second, regarding Redhawk being blown to bits, as noted in the book "Alas, 
Babylon", due to the large number of missile silos in MT, and Malmstrom AFB 
being a NORAD Command Center (2nd in the chain) in Great Falls specifically, 
Montana (and GF specifically) would be targeted for multiple missile hits- the 
entire state would be a blast crater/fallout zone."

  Unless things have changed in recent years, this is wrong...NORAD pulled out of Malmstrom in the very early 80's ,so they no longer have command of the missles in MT.

Secondly, what use would it be to hit a large state with such a small population that has an emense amount of grain growing abilities...None, the missles they would be trying to strike would already be on thier way in an counter attack upon those who shot at us first(unless we of course shot at them first then it would be a mute point anyway)...Montana is in reality a very safe target, because of the small population and agriculture abilities...

These are things I learned back when I lived there(father was stationed at the AFB) and became a certified radioligical monitor for the Civil Air Patrol...

  There is a very good series of books out called "Dies the Fire" about the world basically shutting down all electricity because of a screw up with some science project...No more heat producing engines....So even gun powder doesn't work...It is based mostly in the Pacific NW Oregon area...Bands of suvivours basically become medieval as all the old ways become new again...Sadly, most the SCA/Adria types end up being the bad guys for the first couple of books...Pretty good series..Have read it several times now.
