Coupling the codes with actual engineering specifications for warheads--like the W-88 designs China has already stolen--would give a foreign government a road map for replicating the American nuclear arsenal...

Rather than annihilating demons with an arsenal of firepower, kids manipulate a group of cloyingly cute critters whose primary form of battle is a glorified version of rock, paper, scissors.
