Dr. Strangelove1964

Turgidson:
Mr. President, we are rapidly approaching a moment of truth, both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation. Now, truth is not always a pleasant thing. But it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless distinguishable, post-war environments: one where you got 20 million people killed, and the other where you got 150 million people killed!

Muffley:
You're talking about mass murder, General, not war.

Turgidson:
Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops! Uh, depending on the breaks.

Muffley:
I will not go down in history as the greatest mass murderer since Adolf Hitler.

Turgidson:
Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American people, than with your image in the history books.
