But old news really. I grew up near one of the primary nuclear hit sites in
the US--#7 when I was a kid. This is where the US Army War College was and
where all the officers trained in their "war games".
A close friend in college invited me to his parent's estate and it turned
out he his dad was top brass at the college. We played poker with he and his
friends. Turns out his dad had spent over ten years studying the
possibilities of nuclear war--which was better or more winnable?--a long
drawn out nuclear war or a short, "quick one". The lurid details were
discussed in some detail over cigars and cards. I remember leaving and
trembling. Anyways, that was in the late 70's, so they've been working on
this a long, long time.
Heck these guys even have a hollowed out mountain to go to just north of
Camp David...
