Jack D. Ripper

"Today, war is too important to be left for politicians."

- Gen. Jack.D.Ripper General Jack.D.Ripper is a general in USAF and the commander of Burpelson Air Force Base in the movie Dr. Strangelove.

Due to the strong belief that Soviet infiltration had already polluted the water system in USA and caused his own health problem, Ripper put the base on condition red and ordered B-52 planes in US military bases around the world to attack their targets inside Soviet Union at one night. In order not to let the government foul his plan to eliminate the Russians, Ripper warned the soldiers in his base that the Russian invasion troops might disguise as US army. In this way, when the government sent troops to disarm the base, Ripper led the soldiers in his base to fight against government troops coming towards the base, resulting in great casualties on the government's side.
