Could Amarillo Be A Primary Target If War Broke Out?

It's been a concern of Texans and the American people for several years now with the way the world has been going.

War. Could the United States end up in one on our own soil? We've seen the devastation from other countries that end up in war, but Amarillo would actually have severe cause for concern should a war break out on American soil.

Now, in the grand scheme of things, you'd think Amarillo would be one of the safest places to be in a war. Small city, off the map essentially, in a big state with four major cities.

In a sense, you'd be correct. Amarillo doesn't strike anyone as a target, but there is one thing we have here that the four major cities in the state don't have...and it would be a prime target in war.

Pantex.

Enough said, right? Sure, the first places that would be targeted in war would be the largest cities in America such as New York, Los Angeles, etc., not to mention Washington D.C. Next on that list though would be places with government buildings in them.

Pantex would qualify as that. A place that disassembles nuclear bombs? I mean, if they were to truly attack Pantex and obliterate it, that would be something that could wipe out the entire city of Amarillo and more.

In war, people are looking to cause the most amount of mass destruction at one time, and if they find a way to get to Pantex, it could do just that. Am I saying we're anywhere close to war and something we should worry about right now?

No, not at all. I am saying though if a war were to break out, surprisingly Amarillo could be a main target and something we should be thinking about.
