Those of you that don't know the community that won the Cold War (1945 to 1991) it was our USN Submarine Community. The things they did with basically no accolades from society, the news, or their families (outside of Johnny Walker (LOL)).

The book "Blind Man's Bluff" written in 1998 is one of the best overall books you'll ever read on any military service, but certainly the top book on our Submarine Fleet.

Here is a same that I saw on YouTube the other day.......got a few cameos with Robert Gates, too.


Blind Man's Bluff

Outstanding book......well worth the read, especially the parts on Rickover.

Are you associated with the actual 12th Man/12th Man Kick off Team in anyway?

No, I wish I would have gone out for the team..........went to school in the Jackie Sherill years when the 12thman kickoff team was really involved/outstanding.

I find this a hilarious statement. Great book and I have immense respect for the bubble heads and what they do. But to say they "won" the cold war, is a bit of a stretch.

Outstanding, not sure if Bubba Hillje, was on the team yet, but he was in the Corps with me.
