At least it is journalism, which is still better than the anonymous opining by you two (but not me, if you're asking).

And I kinda thought, despite my low expectations of legislators, more than a few senators and reps would be considering the advantages of eventual disarmament. Not a bill passing few, or even audible few, but a few SHOULD be considering saving taxpayers some money on such an expensive and violent dick-swinging strategy. As you rightly point-out, congress has some control in the issue. But what if voting-citizens, the masters of those same legislators in that same congress, became informed enough to at least think about the prospect of "Zero?"

This article informs people of that prospect, it shouldn't have to also state that congress will never allow "Zero" to occur.

I don't think you need to level an insult against this article, it's pretty good, and you shouldn't really correlate your insult to high schoolers. Many of them fight in our wars, and all of them have a much greater chance of being on the losing end of a nuke. Maybe that even makes them better journalists for this specific topic.
