I have admired Admiral Moorer as long as I knew who he was.
The only person I know of in public life in my lifetime who has never been wrong.

Inevitably, he argued, China would be in a conflict with the United States. China's enormous population made this likely and worrisome. Adm. Moorer's concern was that Chinese leaders might some day believe they could absorb a nuclear attack, lose 200 million people and still have 800 million left.
The U.S. could not withstand such a loss. China's population made naught the concept of mutually assured destruction ? which had helped maintain lukewarm peace with Russia for decades.
Population centers. They're no more immune to 1000+ nukes than anyone else.
