Also, I am not the subterranean type.

LOL I would have never guesed that! The things you learn on this site...amazing!

...And, I'm also sure that in the event of a "massive launch" the entire country would become a "nuclear hot zone" so it would not make much difference. But, if you really knew anything about those launch sites, they have no strategic value because if they were targeted, all the missiles would be already launched, and the enemy strike would be upon unpopulated grasslands with empty silos, so actually in the event of nuclear holocaust, that would probably be the safest place to be.

I guess they never told you that.

What a truly ignorant, intellectually void statement. It just proves you have no clue how a nuclear war is strategized. The objective of launching at missile sites is to destroy as many missiles as possible before launch, and we are not a "first launch" nation. So you figure it out.

Since you probably would watch a movie rather than read a book about it, I highly recommend you getting "The Day After" on DVD. It is one of the most accurate depictions of nuclear war available. Talk to me after you watch it. Thanks.

CN, which nuclear war did you serve in?

Didnt you swipe this line from Driven?

Ive seen the day after.

Is that really a pretty accurate depiction?

It's one of the only two movies that we watched during our undergraduate space and missile training. There are only a few flaws, but they aren't even glaring ones. It is the most accurate of any Hollywood-made film depicting nuclear war.

Lunican, pretty unoriginal comment, but that was my job in the military. I think I have some legitimate expertise in that field, thank you very much.

Yeah, it was just like the nuclear war he served in. Except instead of K rations he ate soylent green.

MMMMM.......tastes like chick'n.

Again, I am in awe of your wit and intellect.

Do launch officers really strategize on nuclear war or would the order be sent down from above?

I would think it would come from above, otherwise our nuclear strategy would vary based on which launch officer is on duty.

I find it interesting that you two libs (lunican and midway) who claim to support the troops on other occasions are basically attacking the service of a former officer in the US Air Force.  Very classy. 

BTW, when it comes to this sort of expertise, you two couldnt carry his jock.

[Lunican]

I'll leave that to you.

one sec...i just found some quite interesting stuff...turns out that we have a fugitive (or this person once was) here posting with us!!

Is it me? LOL

I'll leave that to you.

Brilliant!! Finally a profession that suits both his aptitude and demeanor. Miracles do happen!

I think that your boy George might have changed that philosophy a bit. But, anyhows, to suggest that the DOD would rely on some mole that lives in a hole in the ground to produce strategy regarding nuclear warfare policy just proves you have been in that hole way too long. That's why they were showing you movies during your training, they wanted to plant some strong images in your head that would override those crazy urges to push that button that you get in the middle of the night. And please don't tell me that it takes more than one person's codes, I already know that, ok?

Is idiocy a natural thing for you Midway, or is it an acquired skill? You and Lunican think with the smidgeon of knowledge of nuclear war that you possess, you honestly know more about nuclear policy than me?That's fine, I'll let you live in your ignorance.

Actually, we watched the movies on our own free time, but they were suggested by our training officers.

River, notice the constant twisting and manipulation of words that these supreme intellectuals use when making their attacks/arguments, such as Lunican's statement about us launch officers strategizing nuclear war. At no time did I say that. It should've been implied that while launch officers don't strategize, we know how it's done by higher ranking officials, because we are trained on the process. I did say that they have no clue how it's done, and the continuous ignorant statements are proving me correct.
