Seven Questions is a site that does just what it says on the tin. It conducts interviews, just seven questions long, with a variety of interesting or unusual people, such as Jon Anderson. Jon was a nuclear missile commander during the cold war. He sat through shifts in his bunker ready with his key and his codes to launch his missles at the Soviet Union.

He debunks a few myths about the way the system works as shown in films like War Games but when asked whether he could really have launched the 10 missiles in his command and in doing so kill millions of people, he replies:

…at the moment of truth, the missileer has no real decision-making power. I was a cog in the nuclear machine, willing to execute the presidential decree unquestioningly. The order wouldn’t explain why we were going to war. It wouldn’t attempt to persuade us to launch. It would merely command. My decision to launch had already been made when I swore the Oath of Office and marched off to the Cold War… I wouldn’t have time to think about it. The training of missileers is intended to incite a Pavlovian response. Crews are trained to quickly follow a checklist (see a step, do a step, get a banana). There is no time to think about what you are doing. After the missiles were gone, we would just wait and hope for a direct hit on our site. There was no post-nuclear survival plan.
