re: #27 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds
Yep, anything more advanced than a vacuum tube, assuming it’s not hardened to EMP, will be scrap. We’d be knocked back to the 1800s overnight.
Then what is needed is a hardened infrastructure reserve that can be put to use in the event of an EMP attack. This would also include a prepared nuclear retaliation force to be used in the event of such an attack.
