Must have picked it up from Star Trek TOS destruct code.

The closest I ever came to getting shot was after coming out of the SAC command post after the Col kicked the safe that held the codes setting off an alarm.
I’d be sorely disappointed to learn I almost got shot over something like this.

No one would be that dumb - it’s way too obvious.
It was 12345678.

00000000 was the one on the Air Force cheat sheet I saw.

I can categorically and with great authority say "00000000" was never a operational launch code nor an enable code known to a launch crew.
The switches on the DMCCC panel were default zeros with no code input. This was true of all Wing 6 and Wing 1 Squad 4 operations of the Minuteman system.

I see. Not the code to launch, merely the PAL code to enable the warhead to detonate.
Gotcha.

The launch code was/is “LAUNCH”.

Actually, Hillary handed the launch code to the Russians in that "Easy Button"
