The response came from "Dead Hand".
And maybe, just maybe, our first strike actually worked to some extent. The Interesting thing about the American first strike,is that it had to be mostly ICBM and SLBM. The B-52's would arive later... By that point, there probably was not a whole lot left for them to do.
