Nuclear War is NOT a game. The legions of blind infected burn victims with no hospitals and no food can attest to that
Nuclear War is the END of Human Civilization. Bye Bye folks; its over.

(5,162 posts)I know. I lived through the fifties and sixties and the fear that was with us at all time.
This would be the end of it all, period.

I read that the Secretary of Defense is necessary too.

The United States has a two-man rule in place, and while only the president can order the release of nuclear weapons, the order must be confirmed by the Secretary of Defense...
However, that's an appointment by the President, so is it really much of a safeguard? What if he appoints Sarah Palin or one of his sons?

(171 posts)I consider this man and his supporters to be "Enemies of the State". Making sure Donald Trump never sets foot anywhere near the White House has got to be America's #1 priority!
To the Johnson/Stein supporters, I understand your issues (I have them, too), but I implore you: vote your consciences next election. There is only one person standing between Trump and the Presidency and her name is Hillary Clinton. At all costs, America must defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 elections.
