Thanks, interesting reading. Kind of scarey what type of world we'd be living in today if the USSR had decided to push across the East/West wall.

diablo.. if you are threatened with maybe being shot if you go forward and for sure being shot if you go backward it makes you brave.

machine guns at your back and aimed at you, manned by your fellows make you willing to go forward
