Comments to the document by the various military branches reveal squabbling about who gets to run a nuclear war, a disagreement about the legality of pre-emptive warfighting strategies, and a discussion of the etiquette of alerting allied troops that a nuclear attack is coming their way.
This is exactly the kind of information which we believe ought to be flying around the internet; these guys really shouldn’t be left alone to talk about this stuff behind closed doors.
