I served 6 years, USN as an MT (Missile Technician, C3 Poseidon missile system) aboard boomers in the mid 80’s. We were responsible for every system (from flight control equipment, hydraulics, heating/cooling systems, every aspect from loading to close out) and I remember every time we drilled for launch how much weight everyone carried knowing what it meant if it were an actual launch. Knowing exactly what would come after, and knowing what the world would be like if we were to actually make it home. We all knew from extensive training exactly what these weapons would do, exactly how it performed when deployed from launch to detonation and the result, and I promise you it’s scarier than what you could possibly imagine. I also know that it’s a necessary weapon and I pray deterrence will still be enough to prevent an attack on US soil. You cannot put this genie back in the bottle. Contrary to movies and what most believe, there is no detonation button to blow it up in space. When it launches it will reach its targets with precision, and it will destroy everything in it path and would only take our sailors minutes to launch every one of them. Let’s pray we never have to.

It used to upset a lot of kids, that unknowing feeling, because it was a regular topic of conversation for everyone. And it should upset people... still today. There's no running and hiding from such attacks and surviving. If you're in a designated location by the enemy... just kiss and say "goodbye". I hate war with a passion, and I'm a proud veteran.

Well that's how it is right now, and it's more likely now than at any time from 1947 to 1991 with the possible exception of the bay of pigs event, so you don't need to be old to remember it being highly likely.

We still have our family "fallout shelter" in Florida. I remember atomic bomb drills every week in school.

I was airborne radar aboard the AWACS during the Iranian /Iraqi war and the cold war with Russia. Most don't know that Russia used their Bear bombers to supply Cuba. So every 2-4 weeks these bombers would fly along our eastern seaboard on their way to Cuba. I can say this much, there was many times for the potential for WWIII to start during this time. We do not want to go into another cold war with a nuclear powered country.

[@scottfranco1962]

Someone already won a nuclear war. USA vs. Japan.

[@tbarrelier]

It needn't be global. If our biggest 10 cities were nuked, the USA would be fatally destroyed. No electrical grid, no water or food distribution, etc. Actually, it would take less than that: two pulse bombs over the US would take down the grid and within a year 90% of the population would be dead. Russia would require more than two pulse bombs, being an enormous land mass. China probably would be cooked with just two.

@@tonybigalow3236 All ICBMs are hypersonic. Stop confusing HGVs with ICBM’s. ICBMs are faster than Russia and China’s fastest HGVs. Hypersonic Glide Vehicles are just another convoluted way to get their nuclear payload onto a target. Trident II’s are still vastly uncontested and much faster.

A submarine cannot launch its missiles undetected. It is undetected up to the moment it opens its first missile hatch, then it is completely vulnerable.

[@elessartelcontar9415]

They can remain submerged and launch their missiles while well under the surface. Even if the launch is seen by the enemy's satellites the sub can change course to any random direction and have at least 30 minutes to clear the area. So, no, they aren't "completely vulnerable".
