Is the American public really so stupid that they believe there are "nuclear codes" written down somewhere where all someone has to do is look at the paper, call a number and nuclear missiles are instantly in the air? And for that matter, if the paper is stolen, that the President suddenly loses his password and can no longer order a nuclear strike?
Yes, because that's how it is portrayed in mooovies.
@amerika Yeah, probably.
Y’all’d be shocked at how primitive the nuclear security and safety controls were throughout the Cold War. They might have improved the situation in the last ten or so years …

One of the codes was 0000 at one point. This is well documented.
