60. Hmmm ... important point you make.
Do ya think that as the time nears to give the "Go!" order on a nuclear strike, those all along the chain of command will be thinking about that? Picture themselves in a war crimes tribunal?

We've heard a lot of generals and others in the military are against the way it is being misused and the troops abused and wasted. I wonder if thinking instead about their own culpability in launching nukes might not move certain active duty personnel involved to refuse orders at last?
