When I watched Dr. Strangelove, it kind of reminded me of our current situation in the US. We are almost at the verge of having a war with either Syria or North Korea. This movie seemed relevant in these times. Dr. Strangelove made me think how an incorrect interpretation of a military order could create irreversible consequences. At the meeting with the US president and military generals, there were different opinions and some arguments, particularly of what is legal and what is not. One general tried to justify his actions by claiming that in certain circumstances, there are exceptions to seeking permission from the commander-in-chief. That can be very dangerous. Countries have to be diplomatic to maintain peace in the world. If an irrational and impulsive decision is being made, it can affect the whole world and destroy many lives. Innocent civilians are killed as a result of choices made by a few. This movie reminds us to be rational about our decisions, especially those considering national security.
