That is all very true, Matt. However, there is another point I want to explore. In any kind of rebuilding scenario, there needs to be some kind of group that can provide security to those who are trying to pick up the pieces.
I refer you to the National Guard during Hurricanes Katrina, Floyd, Hugo and others. I also refer you to the 82nd Airborne following the earthquake in Haiti, American forces in Afghanistan helping the flood victims in Pakistan and others.
During a nuclear war scenario, the US Govt will be helpless, much less the state govts. Morrow Project is probably the only power available to secure the locals from those who would rape, pillage and steal.
