Folks growing up in the ’50s, ’60s, ‘70s, and early ’80s will remember the existential threat of that era: communism.
ISIS has a long way to go before it can capture the fear of total nuclear annihilation. The vietnam war, the korean war, the cold war, domino theory, the day after, red dawn, war games, duck-and-cover drills in school...

Now I’m going back to watch my copy of Rocky iV.
On VHS of course.
