Kind of off topic, but this is an interesting story.
In 1991 I had graduated from Law school, but had not yet found s job as an attorney. I was making a little money doing law clerk work, but I also worked other jobs. One of my friends ran an environmental clean up company, and I was working on a project with him. He was digging up a bunch of dirt where an underground gas tank had leaked at the Raytheon Plant in Bristol TN. Raytheon is a defense contractor that makes things like the Patriot Missile. And while we were working there the United States launched Operation Dessert Storm to free Kuwait.
Every day we had just rolled up to the guard shack and my buddy would show his ID. But the morning after the coalition started the sir strikes there were military vehicles all around the plant and we had to go through like 3 checkpoints to get in. They searched all through our truck and even had the mirrors on sticks to look under it.
In my entire life I spend 2 weeks in a defense contractor's plant and it happens to be when we start a war.
