Dr. Strangelove

Dr. Strangelove is a past futureistic movie. It is set on a military base with a crazed General Ripper. He takes command of his base to an exetreme, cutting off all communications from the outside world. This is a movie that demonstrates the power and devistation one man can cause to the world. I feel that this could be a possibility because there are many times when one commanding officer has so much power that if he wanted to cause trouble he could without much resistance. Most of the army now contains check and balances to prevent this from happening with the hopes that no devistation, like that shown in the movie, will happen to the world. I hope for mankinds that the worst never happens because it could very easily end most life and the lugeres that we hold so dear.
