ICBM missile crews refusing to launch? (possibly apocryphal incident)

The argument for bombing civilians is that in an industrial society war, almost everyone’s a participant and a target - the person who drives the tank, the one who makes ball bearings so the tank can roll, the one who packs the lunch for the ball bearing maker or paves the road so the bll bearings can be delivered t the tank factory, or runs the generating station that provides power for it all, or farms the food for the soldiers and workers. Seriously where does it stop? There’s a reason that all-out war makes no sense.

Interesting comment about the ball bearings. The fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany in WW2 was partly an attempt to destroy the ball bearing factories there. But you probably knew that.
