Re: Battleship
That's the game I was trying to think of in a previous post.
Those years when Walker, Ames and Hanssen were operating It was like playing Battleship with the Russians while they were looking at both sides of the board without the US knowing it. That is a huge loss, comparable in football to the opposing teams having your playbook and knowing the calls. All the calls. That doesn't compare with someone on the sidelines saying just before a play that it will be a run.
Whatever. That game does describe the position the US was in.
