Frankly, I cannot see this.
About forty years ago, a friend of mine who was and is a Baptist (SBC) deacon asked me if I was president would I launch in response to a nuclear attack, I said I probably would, and his angry response was how could I as a Christian do that knowing that millions of innocent people would be killed? After thinking about it over the day, I realized that I simply couldn't do it based on Jesus' teachings, and I have never changed my mind on that.
BTW, there was some serious questions as to whether Jimmy Carter would launch a nuclear counterattack, I have doubts he would. Of course, he could not openly admit that either.
