Americans, myself included, have a contradictory relationship with retirement. The whole thing is supposed to be relaxing. It’s a decade or two of well-deserved leisure time at life’s end, devoted to family, friends, and voluntary pursuits. It’s an actual right: one of the few that we have as Americans, and one guaranteed by Social Security, our most popular and well-functioning social program.

The U. S. military’s mountain bunker along Colorado’s Front Range, built during the Cold War to survive a Soviet nuclear attack, now must withstand scrutiny by lawmakers who see it as a costly relic. They question the need for a not-so-secret command post cocooned in 2,000 feet of granite. It sits inside Cheyenne Mountain, where North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) crews in front of a large map can scan skies and track missile and satellite launches around the planet, along with potentially disruptive space junk. The bunker also houses, behind 23-ton blast doors, a power plant, water supply, food stores, a health clinic, a barber shop, and a chapel. Military crews at the Buckley Space Force Base east of Denver and at Peterson Space Force Base east of Colorado Springs perform the same missions at a lower cost.
