Because you train like you fight. Otherwise you're just playing games
and wasting time and money. And yes, sometimes they really do shoot
live warheads.

That's a load of crap.

Are you telling me people training in tanks have to really
shoot other tanks that have real people in them? Are you telling me that to
train for deploying nuclear missiles from a sub they have to shoot live
nuclear
missiles? Are you telling me that marksmen have to shoot live human targets
to be sure that they are up to the job when the time comes??

Of course not.

Even when they are testing something as important as shooting off a life
nuclear
missile someone on that boat knows it isn't real. And some key they use or
button
they press is different than what they would have to press for a real
war-head. It
might be almost 100% the same. But it is NOT the same. If it were 100%
identical
then, by definition, we'ld be shooting off live nuclear warheads.
