I just red a German essay about this game, and it's predecessors. the author argued that exactly the cool, sober, abstract presentation of the mass killing going on in this game works as a motivation for the player to become aware of the cynism and think about the anti-moral dimensions and grim reality of "global thermonuclear war", making it effectively an "anti-war game".

????

Should I take that guy serious, or should i give therapy to him?

The (German language) essay can be found here:
