Discussions of something like this are always a little disheartening because there's a disconnect between the content and the reassurance commenters in the thread are craving. War Games the movie is a docudrama with a story arc that uses fear dramatically. The war game exercise itself that Doug Jones participated in, OTOH, is a highly technical exercise among experts and specialists to stress test our system and learn from its vulnerabilities; its conclusions are sober and rational.
But in the context of a comment thread it becomes fear porn. Sigh.
