As have I. However, I "played" the real game. I was one of those two officers who turn the key on an ICBM.
I don't expect to change either your position or CharlieMike's. All I can say is that if you spent a few years in an ICBM control center, you most certainly would change your position on this issue.
All I can do is offer a perspective. I just pray that those who are today in charge of our Command & Control system do not share your belief.
I'm finished on this topic. I've said all I can say.
