> Nuclear war is, in fact, quite survivable. That's highly debatable. I'm 1/2 way through Command and Control (the book) and one criticism I have throughout for both history (the military and politicos), as well as the author, is no mention of the massive refugee crisis that would emerge as a result of a nuclear war. It makes Mad Max look more realistic, not so much the widespread wasteland, as much as the total breakdown of civil society. If "civil" society, modern governments, do this thing, they forfeit moral high ground. They've failed. So why wouldn't they be immediately dismantled? Why trust anyone? I think it would be such high order betrayal people would take up a new religion that commands them murder is a gift from god, do it as often as possible in order to survive.
