[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 7991929, member: 16077"] This. Doing [stuff I can't talk about] with [people I can't name] in places [that I can neither confirm nor deny I was at] and realizing that TW:2K was closer to reality than I could have ever have expected. Before that, however, I'd say earlier generations were far more rational and did a far better job of shielding us from reality when we were kids. The cold war potentially turning hot didn't happen several times between the end of WW2 and the fall of the wall because individuals on all sides took a deep breath and applied common sense when facing situations that initially presented themselves as real that turned out to be drills or non military in nature. Able Archer 83 was in hind sight probably the closest we ever came to nuclear war, and as a teenager, we didn't even know it at the time. Actually, Able Archer 83 would be a perfect lead in to a TW:2K campaign... [/QUOTE]
