"the Union doesn't really rely on bombers, usualy they use small stike forces of fighters with heavy ordinance, but occasionaly they roll out the big guns." He flipped out a photo. STB-79, newest bomber in the fleet, flys almost sub-orbital, and has a cruising speed of 2.5."

John smiled and then turned to a grim expression and said "Don't let the poster's at the airshow fool you, they'll say that the B-70 in our service, the plane I just showed ya, is meant for conventional bombing, I mean it'll do that great, but what it's meant for..." He took out a picture of a B-61 bomb and said "Nuclear delivery is what the B-70 is really meant for, we kind of want some nuclear protection from our enemies..."

"The Union got rid of its nukes when it developed The orbital weapons platform Arkheim,namely by dropping them on our current enemy."

John nodded and said "Well, that's far ahead of us, but we've still got nuke's, and if anybody invade's our northern territory, which basically nobody live's in, we'll nuke em there..."

Ed chuckled. "The Union is entirely in the Northern area. Land of eternal snow basically, so we can't nuke it even if we wanted to."

John nodded and said "The interesting part about this nation, is that appearently, 5 year's ago, a law was passed that shooting lessons were mandatory in every high school, and sniper lessons optional, well 95% of the people took both, thus we have some of the best snipers ever....." He jerked his thumb over to a M1 Garand sniper rifle in the corner and said "I got that from my school when I was 15 or so, I was the best sniper in the school, then I joined the Air Force shooting team, and I was the best shot there too..."

Ed shrugged. "Recruitment age is fifteen, its mandatory as well. They get their education while learning how to fight."

John smiled, and handed her the keys, and she went out, and he heard her drive off, and blushed a bit and said "She still has the ability to humble me, even now, when she's a housewife, I love that woman, she never told me about the wedding recieption, and why did she keep it hidden.., sorry Ed, for rambling about Jenny..."

Ed chuckled. "Its okay, I was engaged once..."

John grinned and said "She's a wonderful wife so far, I am glad that I married her..." He got up and put on his 2006 Fender Toronado and started playing "La Grange" by ZZ Top and said "Recognize this little riff?"

D4 looked up.

"I do. Been a while since I heard anyone play it though. Its a fovorite among some Shenyangi SF."

John grinned and smiled and said "For our final dessert, we have some Cadbury eggs and chocolate bars, and some Maltteasers, chocolate malt balls, dig in whenever you're ready..." He started playing "Aliens Exist" by Blink 182...
