I am suppose to believe that hundreds of missles sitting in silos with a couple of watch officers checking that it is still there are going to launch just fine? Who cares enemy action? Will the sucker work in the first place? And the soviet missles are donbe by the same crowd that can't keep cars going, right? BFHD.
