Geronimo is buried at Fort Sill. Among others of his brethren

He is indeed. I've personally stood in front of his grave. It's hard to imagine what he went through. Watched his people not only be conquered but his entire way of life destroyed. You have to feel pity and respect for him . . .

My next door neighbor was a manager on Pershing and Dad on SPRINT. There were about six Martin engineers living within a block and a half of us, and several more non engineering employees. One of my friend's dad was a graphic artist and did a great T shirt for me of those silly dragsters with the giant weirdos sticking WAY out of the top of them. I forget what those were called but they were plastic toys of the time, IIRC. It was in Pine Hills, which is unfortunately now Slime Hills. I wouldn't even drive into the place unless I 'had to' for some reason. I also worked as an engineer for the company a couple of decades after that. Bill probably saw this vid, and probably thought it was pretty funny, at least later on. Failures aren't all that funny shortly enough after they occur, ESPECIALLY for those that had anything to do with the failure area. At least back then they could iterate through several failures to a fully functioning design, unlike now, for the most part. Now it had better work REAL soon after initial test, at least that was my experience. "Or the guilty" LOL, military and/or nerd humor.

I was an Army electronics tech working on the Pershing when I was a much younger man. :)

@@NoTorr2000 Cool, and yeah, I get the much younger part, and I am the next generation. :-) I used to get some misgivings from time to time designing weapons occasionally, but then I would get back to reality and think, wayyy better their kids than ours not coming home. There are no military servicemen on my side of the family in the last couple of generations, but on my wife's side two retired AF Colonels in her brother and Dad, alone.

@@MrJdsenior I think the misgivings are entirely normal. I really can't imagine the kind of person that would have no second thoughts about working on a device designed to kill millions of people. Like you, I weighed the good with the bad and decided I was doing the right thing. I suppose it also didn't hurt that I was 17 years old when I signed up for it and maybe didn't grasp the enormity of what I was agreeing to.

@@NoTorr2000 Fully understood. Thanks for the supporting words. I can't even imagine how tough that aspect was for the creators of the atomic bomb. Although the reasoning was IMMENSELY sound at the time, as well as the reason for using them, ignorant apologists aside. I'm fairly sure almost all of that group of physicists, engineers, mathematicians, techs, etc. realized the future ramifications. Any that had a grasp of the larger picture anyway, as you say. And the president who gave the order.
