It's curious how they're selected. During the nuclear age we've had nukes in the hands of fanatics who hated the enemy, who were able to comprehend the gravity of their responsibility enough that not once did a nuclear tipped weapon get launched in error or against orders... or at all.

We're closing on eighty years without an atomic war. Not a small accomplishment. It's one of the few things that gives me hope for humanity.

See? It just needs one asshole to end the world.
