All this talk that a nuclear war would not leave survivors is pure BS! You talk about Reagan stating thatover 50% of Soviet population would survive and you say this is ludicrous. You are dead wrong. Please show me some figures to support your claim!!! I have given several sources for my assertion that Soviet casulaties after a US retaliation would be low. Where are yours staing the contrary. All the talk about blowing up the world 12 times over must have been started by somebody who is a Soviet agent, this sort of stuff is totally off base and anyone in the business will tell you so. Heck, even McNamara said that we could only kill 20% back in the 60's, and we have cut our throweight enormously since then! His claim was that that was enough to deter. Now that is a matter for debate, but those figures which show Soviet casualties anywhere near US casualties are ridiculous. I want to see FACTS and NUMBERS!!! Milo
