Our world continues to be threatened by more than 20,000 nuclear warheads–the capacity to kill or grievously injure all people living on Earth, and to destroy the global ecosystem many times over. We are impelled to ask what it is, exactly, that is being protected by this unimaginable destructive capacity. If even some small portion of the population of one of the combatant nations were to survive, what would await them could hardly be termed a future.

I really enjoyed Love On the Spectrum.
And Michael was truly delightful.
Well actually, the whole series was heartwarming.

A Missile Facilities Technician. I’m probably the only person you will ever know that has touched a nuclear warhead…repeatedly. It was my job to launch it against the Soviets.

There aren’t too many people in the world who are hired to do a job and never, ever get to do it. It’s surreal when I think about those days.

Indeed. My meaning was that if all do their job correctly, most won’t feel the touch of a nuclear device.

I touched 'em all the time when I served on an aircraft carrier. I was surprised they are way smaller than I thought.
