That reminds me of the TNG episode where two sides of a war long ago switched to simulating attacks. When there's a strike the casualties are required to report to termination "centers" to comply with the simulation.


That was Star Trek original series, Season 1 Episode 23, "A Taste of Armageddon". Brilliant episode.
