You are one of the 2 workers in a Nuclear Missile Silo, in an armoured protected room, responsible for final arming and launch situation.
Each of you has a key which is used to access a big red launch button. Both buttons need to be pressed simultaneously to launch your Nuclear missile.
Reports have come in that an ultra radical Islam group calling themselves "Allah's Apocalypse" have seized power in Iran, and have taken control of Iran's missile silos - and Nuclear missiles which supposedly did not exist.
24 hours later UK Early Warning Systems flash red with a full 15 missile launch detected from Iran, with 5 of them on their way to the UK.
The red phone in your silo rings... it's Gordon Brown who has given you the command to launch your Nuclear Missile at Iran.
All other UK silos have been captured by a inside force of Muslim converts and infiltrators.
Would you press the red button or not?

If you're in that scenario (which reminds me a LOT of the opening scene to that Matthew Brodderick movie, "Wargames") - and that phone call from the Prime Minister is the correct procedure to receive and verify the orders to launch... it's then your JOB to follow those orders - turn your key and launch.

Me! No. I'm in the US.
But if I was that guy, I probably wouldn't push that button anyway. Why irradiate the world even more?
I fail to see the sense in killing a second great group of innocent people if one great group of innocent people are killed. But, hey, I don't get "millitary intelligence".
That's why they wouldn't have me in that little room. I'd be one of the brickquettes on the street smoldering with a peace sign in my hand.
