2: minimum number to authorize a U.S. nuclear attack?

Source: Time magazine: The Answers Issue Sept. 9th to Sept 15th 2014 page 75

Other info from page 75 from above Time Magazine:

$6 trillion dollars: Upper estimate of what the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan actually cost.
(which could have educated not only everyone in the U.S. but maybe everyone on earth instead).
(and maybe there wouldn't be any wars now at all if that had actually happened).

259: number of suicides of active duty personnel in 2013.

15,654 nukes:total known land area of nuke bases (40,544 square miles).

2,000,000: number of hours  military drones have already flown

$2,000,000: amount the U.S. military spend on developing a robotic mule

(actually I can actually see the usefulness of this because it doesn't make any mule or animal sounds
and you can turn it off when you aren't using it or riding it at 45 mph through the back country on a trail somewhere).
