Able Archer 83

The War Game Screenwriters would have been a shoe-in for Best Nuclear War Prediction. This exercise that almost ended it all, it goes by the codename Able Archer 83. When I first heard the story of Able Archer 83, let's just say my childhood fears were instantly validated. But vindication aside, learning this story still leaves me a little unnerved? Because if a military exercise almost caused a nuclear war in 1983 and nobody knew about it, what a complete and utter snafu.
