      no it's not about winning or dragging your enemy down , it's about showing your enemy that it is not in their best interest to attack you, because the cost is too high ..... the term is M.A.D. and it has been used on this world for decades ........

      Humanity, we don't need to win, we don't even need to survive, we just need to ensure that the cost of your victory is far higher than your willing to pay.
      Or as it was once so eloquently put "the only winning move is not to play".

    The most important part of secrecy and espionage is not hiding information, but making your enemy know what you want them to know. Yes we have weapons of Mass Destruction, but we also have other "weapons" that we hold more close to our chest. The alliance knows well

    While mutually assured destruction can be useful, it’s the weapons unseen that are the best. Everyone can see the gun, but they’ll never notice the knife sliding in between the ribs.

    My experience with war - Seeing your friends come back permanently maimed or mentally damaged by the things they have seen. Glory only exists in fantasy. One of my friends got divorced from his wife over PTSD, and they were both my friends. Another friend was in Saudi Arabia when a truck bomb went off and blew her across her dorm room. She was medically discharged because the damage was permanent. That's not even mentioning the people who I did not know that came back minus arms and legs. Then there were the medical professionals who went through years of therapy over things they saw on the font lines, including one of my commanding officers. There is no glory in war, only sacrifice.

    I enjoyed the story, but I think the author missed a turn. While he made a general description of it, a more detailed description of what we call it would have been appropriate. M.A.D. Mutually Assured Destruction. It's not talked about all that much today, but as someone who grew up and served in the military during the Cold War, it was something most people were well aware of back then.
