Success To Launch

After they finished the explanation of how the nuke launching system worked, the general looked at me carefully.

"I assume you were expecting a red button to press, Mr President?"

"Well, no, but... I didn't expect it to be like this."

There was a brief chuckle.

"I assume they all say that?"

"Oh no, not quite all. 

But seriously Mr President, you wanted the position, you've worked so hard to get here, this is the best way."

"But if you decide to launch, it'll be my name attached for all history."

"If we launch, there'll be no more history, relax."
