Reminds me of the story about when Eisenhower sent his science advisor to meet with Gen. Curtis LeMay, Commander Strategic Air Command.

Science Advisor: How much warning prior to a Soviet nuclear attact do you anticipate?

LeMay: Considering that I’m overflying them almost daily, I should have around 5 - 6 Days warning.

Science Advisor: Then what?

LeMay: Then I’m going to knock the sh— out of them before they can attack.

Science Advisor: ... you mean after you get presidential authoization?

LeMay: (silence)
