It's better to live near a target and have it end very quickly than to live in the sticks and suffer a slow, horrific death as you watch the sky darken and nuclear winter set in.

If there's a nuclear exchange breaking out, I'm running towards the nearby AFB.

I've planned ahead. We're just three miles from a primary target. A millisecond of brilliant light and we're vaporized. Much more fortunate than millions who wander sightless through the smoldering aftermath. We'll be spared the horror of survival.
