"That is so completely wrong its frightening. Study up on current nuclear doctrine and Rand studies"

Some organizations are more concerned with libertine social trends and international, civilian idealism. Others design and produce hardware. It's understandable, though, that reading much lefty bilge can induce irrational fears. What's more, nuclear conflict is survivable for for the vast majority--even soldiers.

The West has been saturated with nonsense about hypothetical nuclear exchanges since the '80s (not to mention the political games played about feminism, queer-ism, etc.). And no, the West is not getting rid of useful weapons. Lifelong civilians and rear echelon folks have isolated from realities with pretty, televised hogwash for a long time except for the few, who pay closer attention to the tangible and physical (hardware, for one).

What's wrong is encouraging expansionist enemies by rhetorical cowering and allowing them to invade other countries. That's what will quickly lead to nuclear exchanges. Criminals refuse to consider consequences, though, and don't care about what happens tomorrow. They only care about getting paid today.

Our most encompassing and general doctrine is this: losing is unthinkable. That knowledge is no secret, although many folks adverse to defense like to ignore it. No socio-political organization is going to change that, although such entities may get nods to abominable, civilian social doctrines in socio-political circles and media—pretty much what the weirdos and manhaters receive.
