	Description:		Today we’re talking about a stretch of ocean between the UK and Greenland (with Iceland in the middle) that is pretty much the only access point for the Soviets to hit the high seas of the Atlantic and potentially cut off NATO supply lines…as well as potentially get nuclear subs right off the East Coast of the US. We’ll talk about how this gap affected Cold War planning and how critical it was for both sides in a potential conflict. I also tell the tale of the most bizarre ass-chewing I ever received in the Marine Corps. Enjoy! As always, if you want to support this show financially, check us out at www.reddragonherbs.net
