Suheil Bushrui is an eminent scholar and humanist. Listen to him! I had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Bushrui when I worked at the University of Maryland in the 90s.

Reply to Was Bruce Willis in Die Hard the ushering in of the modern everyman action star? by SquatOnAPitbull
Don't believe anybody but me here - Die Hard was so unlike every previous action movie in its intensity, fun, and spectacle that seeing it was like seeing your very first action movie. And action movies were practically our entire movie diet at the time. I saw it in the early weeks of its release in a packed theater, and the audience erupted in rapturous applause at its end. I have never experienced that before or since.

Probably a well-mitigated consideration, if it truly exists.

I could never conceivably back up this claim, and if I could, it would mean I was involved in espionage. I don't know this to be true for certain, but again, I was told this directly by a person I know to be trustworthy, who would have reason to know, and who made a very grave error in telling me. It is, however, such juicy information that flies in the face of what folks "know to be true" that I feel like it's my duty and honor to expose this information.
If folks want to believe our national security is dependent on ICBMs, sub-launched missiles, or airborne bombers alone, that's fine. However, there are already nuclear warheads deployed in space.

It is top secret, but the US already has space-borne nukes. I learned this from a person I know and trust who should NOT have told me. That this is denied and that no other nation on Earth has criticized the US for violating this treaty likely indicates that other nations are in defiance as well.

I do that all the time! My hair looks better if I don't shampoo too frequently, and pffff, who needs daily showers?

Rick Beato has a great video where he describes how precisely similar they really are.
