KSChris ,
When did they ever use the term Watchmen to describe themselves in the book? I am well aware of the origins of the phrase. It was a derogatory term used by the public during the riots before the Keene Act was signed in '77. It just seems that using the term "watchmen" is dumbing it down for a general audience.
Also, I know where the nuke happens in the book. That wasn't what I was talking about.
