Members of the generation known as the "baby boomers" were born in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in the years immediately following the end of World War II. Soldiers came home, married the women they had been apart from during the war, and settled down to start a family almost immediately, accounting for the major rise in births during those years.

What strategies has the US employed to ensure its security?

The US Air Force & US Navy are strategic forces; they can traverse the globe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year...year after year. The US Army (The US Marine Corps are part of the US Navy) is a tactical force; it can ONLY fight when & where the Air Force or Navy puts them. During the cold war, US strategies involved the USAF/USN constantly patrolling the globe (earth); the USAF was armed with SAC (Strategic Air Command) B-52 Stratofortess bombers, each loaded with an Atomic Weapon, these bombers were airborne 24-7 on a rotation basis. In the continental US, buried deep beneath the earth were USAF ICBM's in missile silos (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles). The USN patrolled the oceans with nuclear powered submarines: Boomers & Fast Attack. Boomers were armed with naval versions of ICBMs; Fast Attack subs were hunter killer subs, designed to kill Soviet submarines.
