    You sound a lot like Dr. Falken from Wargames.

    I’ve planned ahead. We’re just three miles from a primary target. A millisecond of brilliant light and we’re vaporized. Much more fortunate than millions who wander sightless through the smoldering aftermath.

      I mean, it’s not an irrational stance. Better to thoughtfully and rationally consider it and plan accordingly.

      Really, it’s another manifestation of that whole, “which would your rather meet alone in the woods, a lone man or a lone bear.” A lot of guys simply couldn’t understand why most women would take the bear. But the worst the bear is going to do is eat you. And there are many fates worse than death.

        Oh, I wasn’t meaning to suggest you were wrong. I’ve actually feel that Falken’s statement there makes perfect sense. Falken only goes wrong when he refuses to act to stop WW III on the assumption that since it’s going to happen eventually, why not now?
