The title has nothing to do with a post that sort of starts off somewhere and ends up going absolutely nowhere.

What I thought you were going to write about was if some nation dropped an H-bomb and we all went to war, everyone would be recruited out of their current lives and startup-centric mind frames. No more entrepreneurship when everyone's trying to survive a war (Unless you're Milo Minderbiner in a Hellerian universe).

The title is parody - he's commenting on the general amount of gibberish that gets written about startups.

*Facepalm. It makes a lot more sense from that perspective. Long day, brain drained.

If some country drops one nuclear bomb we will be shocked by how little damage it will do to the US and how swift the response is going to get.

If Russia or China starts a fullscale nuclear war, it is over before they have the time to consider a draft.

In any other case a draft is political suicide and will be the only thing (short of an invasion) that can united the country.

So a draft is extremely unlikely.

Launchrock is a little too meta for me... it probably will never make any money but hey, it probably didn't really cost any money to make.

I guess that's one problem with people not working for big companies when they graduate college and instead just going to their startup, they don't know the kinds of problems real people are having. Now let me go back to working on my iPhone game.

Parody has a referent, the title here is more accurately called "sarcastic."
