00:05.579 --> 00:08.869
A short time ago , an American airplane

00:08.880 --> 00:12.430
dropped one bomb on Hiroshima and

00:12.439 --> 00:14.661
destroyed its usefulness to the enemy .

00:16.350 --> 00:18.572
We were the only country to ever use an

00:18.572 --> 00:22.079
atomic bomb in war 30,000 ft .

00:22.920 --> 00:26.200
Looking down on the city , it took 45

00:26.209 --> 00:28.098
seconds from the time it left the

00:28.098 --> 00:30.610
aircraft to detonation . The in between

00:30.620 --> 00:33.810
time the world it was and the world

00:33.819 --> 00:36.450
that would be the crew counted and

00:36.459 --> 00:38.570
waited for a flash of light to change

00:38.570 --> 00:40.570
forever . The way countries talk to

00:40.570 --> 00:43.659
each other . Cold wars , brinkmanship ,

00:44.040 --> 00:47.930
trust , but verify deterrence the Cuban

00:47.939 --> 00:51.259
missile crisis , Khrushchev , Kim Jong ,

00:51.270 --> 00:55.119
un old allies , new enemies .

00:56.630 --> 00:58.852
We tell people back home , we work with

00:58.852 --> 01:00.963
nuclear weapons and they want to joke

01:00.963 --> 01:03.074
about movies . They've seen diffusing

01:03.074 --> 01:05.269
warheads with seconds to spare super

01:05.279 --> 01:08.949
villains . We laugh we're human but

01:08.959 --> 01:11.980
they have no idea . Nobody does .

01:13.040 --> 01:15.980
It is our duty , our privilege to

01:15.989 --> 01:18.045
maintain the integrity of our nation

01:18.045 --> 01:21.959
shield . We are our nation shield . We

01:21.970 --> 01:24.339
serve in the middle of nowhere on the

01:24.349 --> 01:26.669
edge of history . We serve on the

01:26.680 --> 01:29.300
global stage of policy , diplomacy ,

01:29.309 --> 01:32.480
leverage and mad men . We're not out

01:32.489 --> 01:34.433
here babysitting metal , twiddling

01:34.433 --> 01:37.000
thumbs or flying in circles . We are

01:37.010 --> 01:39.232
airmen in the United States Air Force .

01:40.129 --> 01:43.459
The world is in constant chaos . So we

01:43.470 --> 01:46.099
are on constant alert . We are here to

01:46.110 --> 01:49.010
keep the world from boiling over . We

01:49.019 --> 01:51.129
work as a team . There can be no

01:51.139 --> 01:52.839
weakness , there can be no

01:52.849 --> 01:56.440
vulnerability . Never . The world is

01:56.449 --> 01:58.889
watching . This is a destructive force .

01:58.900 --> 02:01.870
So terrifying . Its very existence is

02:01.879 --> 02:04.559
our weapon and make no mistake about it .

02:04.750 --> 02:06.860
We are here to scare the living hell

02:06.870 --> 02:09.289
out of our enemies . Scare them with

02:09.300 --> 02:11.589
our power . Our resolve , our

02:11.600 --> 02:14.940
dedication , our vigilance , we will

02:14.949 --> 02:17.860
not be the ones to blink . We are fully

02:17.869 --> 02:20.091
aware that should these weapons ever be

02:20.091 --> 02:22.619
used ? The final page of history is in

02:22.630 --> 02:25.149
our hands . You can't live your life

02:25.160 --> 02:27.460
within inches of a nuclear weapon and

02:27.470 --> 02:29.729
not feel the weight of the world . Our

02:29.740 --> 02:31.770
mission is to carry that weight .

02:33.039 --> 02:35.750
Theodore Roosevelt said , speak softly

02:35.800 --> 02:39.750
and carry a big stick sticks . Don't

02:39.759 --> 02:43.350
get much bigger than this aim high Eman .
