And saint Goggle says that:

IIRC, it ended with Rock Hudson (who played the President) saying: "They're going to launch. And those bombers are not going to turn back." That was right after he got off the Red Phone, and the Russian President assured him there wasn't going to be a war in a rather sarcastic tone of voice. And then he put his face in his hands; he know what he was going to have to do.

And the tactic that David Soul's character used called "Buzzsaw" -- I wasn't even in ROTC yet and I knew that was more of a die-in-place tactic. Laying in those pipes, you have good cover from the sides, but the front, a good spray or a grenade will take you out, and you've got no place to go.
