Daily Media Humor|Does anybody miss having the Soviet Union as an enemy?

Friday, January 3, 2014 - -

Question by Uncle Pennybags: Does anybody miss having the Soviet Union as an enemy?
Just seems easier to relate to them as the enemy than our current crop of enemies, Islamic terrorists.

They had a big military like us. They made for much better enemies in fiction, both books and movies. The Cold War was kind of cool.

I remember some comedian saying shortly after the USSR dissolved, “Now who is James Bond going to fight, the Guatemalans?”
Yes, I was an adult during the Cold War. And yes, I remember the duck and cover drills in school.

Answer by Matt D
I don’t think anyone who was an adult during the Cold War wants to go back to those days… it was pretty scary.

However, there was something liberating about doing something dumb like taking drugs or skydiving and being able to say “ah, screw it, we’re all gonna get nuked anyway.”
