I imagine the drills are pretty much exactly as portrayed in the movie. Nobody knows if it is real or just a drill, and launching megatons of missiles doesn't give that comforting vibe.
Probably even a little more mentally distressing than being a facebook content moderator.
That is exactly as he described it. Like maybe he was annihilating the world periodically.
I thought it sounded kind of fun, but I am not some kind of goody goody like he kind of was. I miss that guy, but I am also still totally disgusted with him for doing that to his family.
I don't know the status of the current psychological screening - hopefully it is getting better every year. The facebook moderation exposure should trickle down to the military at some point, in that anyone that is tasked with civilization ending powers and drills should be heavily counseled to expose mental cracks, or to keep them a little more leveled.
Veteran suicides really do suck. It never is just one straw though - it is a whole ton of hidden/buried stressors that eventually leads up to that final straw. Maybe after the boogaloo there won't be a need for people like that - dreaming.

And a friend of mine had that job being a guy with a key to a nuke in the airforce. He ended up going crazy and killing himself.
