On December 8, 1991, the old Soviet Union ceased to exist. After 45 years, the Cold War was over and communism was beaten. The fall of the rest of the axis of evil was imminent and peace was at hand or so it seemed at the time. Unfortunately the expected Pax Americana did not usher in world peace and American soldiers, sailors, and marines continue to confront our nation's enemies who are well armed with Combloc weapons taken from the arsenals of Russia and other iron curtain countries.
