It's World War One
1:07:02
There's thirteen million killed
1:07:04
It's all because the militaries
of both alliances believed
1:07:06
that they were so highly
attuned to one another's movements
1:07:09
and dispositions, they could
predict one another's intentions
1:07:12
But all their theories
were based on the last war
1:07:14
And the world
and technology had changed
1:07:16
and those lessons
were no longer valid
1:07:19
But it was all they knew
1:07:20
so the orders went out
1:07:22
couldn't be rescinded
1:07:27
The man in the field, his family
at home, they couldn't even tell
1:07:29
the reasons
why their lives were being destroyed
1:07:35
But why couldn't they stop it?
1:07:38
What could they have done?
1:07:41
Here we are 50 years later
1:07:44
Say one of their ships
resists the inspection
1:07:47
and we shoot out its rudder
1:07:49
and board
1:07:51
They shoot down
one of our planes in response
1:07:55
So we bomb their anti-aircraft sites
in response to that
1:07:59
They attack Berlin
1:08:03
So we invade Cuba
1:08:08
And they fire their missiles
1:08:22
Helen, I want you
to keep the kids close tomorrow
1:08:26
I want you to leave the TV on
1:08:28
I want you to sleep with it on
in the bedroom
1:08:31
until I call you
and tell you can turn it off
1:08:34
What's happened?
1:08:36
Nothing
1:08:38
you don't already know about
1:08:41
Just have the car ready to go
in case I call
1:08:43
or a Civil Defense Warning comes on
1:08:47
What happens to you?
1:08:50
I'm not leaving without you
1:08:53
I'll be evacuated with the President
1:08:59
Great
