Where did the Diefenbunker get its name from?
'Diefenbunker' is a play on words.
During the Cold War, the Canadian government built an underground bunker near Carp, Ontario, a few kilometers outside of the nation's Capital, Ottawa. In the event of nuclear war the Prime Minister and a handful of people necessary for the functioning of government during war would be safe from attack. Not surprisingly, after an untold amount of money had been spent on it, the bunker was determined to be virtually useless.
The "Diefen" part of the bunker comes from the surname of Canada's then Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker (1895-1979), who served in office from June 21, 1957 to April 22, 1963. The Prime Minister's toilet in the bunker came complete with rubber shock absorbers, so that it could withstand a nuclear bomb without cracking the porcelain.
The Diefenbunker is now a Cold War museum.

How does the sniper highlight the futility of war?
By eliminating the need for battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, etc. One "good" military sniper can pin down a whole rifle company. And if the terrain permits, and the enemy battalion isn't too spread out, one "good" sniper can pin down as whole battalion.
So why have battalions...unless they're specialized!
