The alternative to guided missiles isn’t peace, it’s carpet bombing.

The planes needed to drop those bombs have software too.

It's perfectly possible to build very devistating weapons without computers. For example Little Boy & Enola Gay; and Fat Man and Bockscar. The Uranium, Plutonium, and Hydrogen bombs we're built without and do not contain computer. Ditto for the P38, B29, F104, &c.

Software makes our world go round, but it's not a necessity.
