You still go on high alert.

It has been so many years now since I was trained as a spotter to man that little lookout shack on a point above the Missouri River.
When I heard the sound today I quickly realized that it was a fighter jet and the slight glimpse that I got confirmed it as it ripped across the sky.
For a minute you wonder if things have gotten so bad that fighter jets have been scrambled.
Then I saw on the tv news that the Blue Angels were practicing today for the air and water show this weekend.
How do you explain that initial fear to other generations who didn’t live through the worst parts of the Cold War.
 

Overall, I'd say it's an over-reaction. Things are nowhere near the edge certain groups want you to believe. Breed panic, and fear will make you more extreme in your views. It's all a move to make you feel unsettled.
