| I remember reading One Point Safe. A great book, though because of the level of detail it goes into in some things, I have questioned whether it was really a valid source. But in there it mentions how a single Soviet intelligence officer (SIGINT) prevented a nuclear war because he refused to believe his equipments reading. Apparently the sun's reflection off the covers of the American missile silos registered to the Soviet satellites that these silos were launching.
I just wonder who this guy was... I think the book mentions who he is but I just cannot remember anymore. Everyone owes their ass to him.
But on that note, it even goes to show that even by accident, when things were sure to go wrong, they didn't.
If even those denied an accidental fire, what would it really take to even launch a deliberate strike?
