True, something absolutely needs to be done about that. The only failsafe is a US soldier illegally disobeying orders. Actually, most soldiers that have a key would need to disobey orders, because it wouldn't take too many nukes to end life as we prefer it on earth.

The world should have a national holiday in his honor. Possibly more deserved then any other human in history.

I'm going to start celebrating these now. Holidays in honour of the two Russian officers who refused to start WW3
