Eh, somebody has to, or eventually bad things will happen. Impossible to know the statistics of how useful it actually is, but every governments military has entire divisions dedicated to simulating war. I think one of said divisions are the reason we didn’t end up having a nuclear exchange, as he knew the chips running the computer were pretty old & due for replacement. One day said computer says “enemy nukes incoming” completely out of the blue & with no real ongoing geopolitical tensions… I think his higher ups nearly made the decision to order him to press the red button, but he put his years of knowledge & faith in the fact the computer radar whatever was malfunctioning & nukes hadn’t actually been launched. He was right. If he hadn’t fantasized about this scenario & known the ins & outs of the technology involved? Well, the world might’ve been fucked decades ago. I realize what I’ve said isn’t entirely relevant to your reply, but some external perspective never hurts. Make fun of all the people who do have to worry about what might happen in modern war, & they may just become jaded enough to say “fuck it, these people are dicks anyways” & press the red button, knowing they’ll all be disappearing with him.
