British alternative to NATO INF (Cruise and Polaris)
The more I read about the nuclear politics of the 60s defence decisions the more I am astonished at the annoying involvement of the Germans.

The US is even retiring it's best cruise missiles (the stealthy AGM-129) rather than convert them to conventional. Not sure why. Only thing I can come up with is the idea of...- sferrin
