What America spent money on during the Cold War instead of actual security in the daily lives of its citizens (#22789297):
"Throughout the world, our strategic focus stand guard over our way of life. But, if a general war engulfed the world, all our military power could be helpless.
Unless our leaders could survive and control our forces before and during the holocaust, an aggressor could strike without fear of reprisal.
Only the belief that we could control our forces throughout the entire spectrum of a general nuclear war would deter him from striking the first blow."
1969 US Air Force film, declassified thanks to the National Security Archive.
