- Because of the low accuracy ( circular error probable ) of early-generation intercontinental ballistic missiles ( and especially submarine-launched ballistic missiles ), second strike was initially only possible against very large, undefended countervalue targets like cities.
- Considering this " countervalue " attack concept, strategic planners calculated that an attack of " 400 equivalent megatons " aimed at the largest Soviet cities would promptly kill 30 % of their population and destroy 50 % of their industry.
- Judge Schwebel, draws a distinction between the use of nuclear weapons for countervalue, which he believes cannot be reconciled with international humanitarian law, and the tactical use of nuclear weapons against military targets which he believes, in certain circumstances, can.
- In nuclear warfare, air bursts are used against soft targets ( i . e . lacking the hardened construction required to survive overpressure from a nuclear explosion ) such as cities in countervalue targeting, or airfields, radar systems and mobile ICBMs in counterforce targeting.
- These weapons were essentially invulnerable when at sea, and offered a credible countervalue force ( against civilian targets ) although early models like the UGM-27 Polaris and UGM-73 Poseidon did not have the accuracy to attack Soviet silos and thus offered little counterforce capability.
- Further, the requirement to use ground burst strikes to destroy hardened targets would produce enormously more fallout than the air bursts used to strike countervalue targets; introducing the possibility that a counterforce strike would cause more civilian casualties over a medium-term view than a countervalue strike.

- The opposing view, however, counters that countervalue targeting is neither moral nor credible because if an aggressor should strike first with nuclear weapons against only a limited number of a defender's counterforce military targets, the defender should not retaliate in this situation against the aggressor's civilian populace.
- For a full-scale countervalue / counterforce nuclear exchange between the U . S . and the Soviet Union, they predicted U . S . deaths from 35 to 77 percent ( 70 million to 160 million dead at the time ), and Soviet deaths from 20 to 40 percent of the population.
- The strategic concept behind the " Force de Frappe " is one of countervalue, i . e ., the capacity to inflict so much damage on a potential ( and more powerful ) adversary's population that the potential adversary will be deterred from attacking no matter how much destruction they themselves are capable of inflicting ( see Mutual Assured Destruction ).
- This so-called " countervalue " ( as contrasted with " counterforce " uses directed only against enemy nuclear forces and installations ) could cause an enormous number of deaths and injuries, running in some cases into the millions; and, in addition to those immediately affected by the heat and blast of those weapons, vast numbers could be affected, many fatally, by spreading radiation.
- To this end, the docudrama employs juxtaposition by, for example, quickly cutting from the scenes of horror after an immediate escalation from military to city nuclear attacks to a snippet of a recording of a calm lecture by a person resembling Herman Kahn, a renowned RAND strategist, hypothesizing that a counterforce ( military ) nuclear war would not necessarily escalate immediately into countervalue-targeted ( i . e . civilian-targeted ) nuclear war.
- The rationale behind countervalue targeting is that when two sides have both achieved assured destruction capability that is, when the nuclear arsenals of each side have the apparent ability to survive a wide range of counterforce attacks, and carry out a second strike in response then, in an all-out nuclear war, the value of targeting the opponent's nuclear arsenal diminishes, and the value of targeting the opponent's cities and civilians increases.
- Before advances in precision guided munitions and physics package miniaturization, " city busting " or countervalue targeting, was a more likely nuclear war scenario, as effective counterforce warfare with nuclear weapons had yet to become all that conceivable, with the potential exceptions of being used in roles where a low degree of accuracy would not result in a waste of a bomb, such as destroying large " rear area " military bases, aircraft carriers, Communist human wave attacks, mobile battlefield.
