#3 snm - get a reality check.

All during the Cold War, commanders and officers down to second lieutenants with access to the devices. It only would take two like minded individuals to activate a device. Never, outside Hollywood fantasy, in all those decades did we have a Dr. Strangelove scenario. Maybe because the armed forces had a zero tolerence for behaviors and attitude when it came to nukes. When it came to nukes, they had no sense of humor. Under the personnel programs, just taking commonly prescribed medications removed you from duty till you were cleared by the med personnel.

#4 As anyone thats ever been under PRP (as I have) can tell you, Strangelove was a funny movie but nowhere near the truth.
