I often wondered about how bad things would have to be in the world to live in a bunker. If things are so bad aren't you just prolonging the inevitable?

Well this was a bunker to survive a nuclear attack so we'd still have military command...so I imagine pretty F'ing bad. There's was an AF base where he was based out of not that far away. Where he would have slept if he didn't have an apt off base. He only worked in the bunker. You'd enter and leave by cover of darkness. A few hundred service people from USA/NATO worked there. That book is actually a good glimpse of what it was like.
