Place radar or silo VERY close to a city so when the player sends a nuke to the silo they hit the city instead because they mistakenly though they were targeting correctly. (how's that for grammar) YES, I am new to the game so be nice please.

So...you want them to miss and hit your city?

I'm not sure exactly what I'm hoping for here. Like I said, I am new.

I see what you are saying. In a very populated area, placing military targets would create some amount of confusion during their silo/bomber targeting. But any skilled played will run back over his commands, to make sure they have no stray nukes. This is Thermonuclear War, we must be responsible with what we click on.:D

If you place it VERY close, the unit AND the city will get hit... and unless there's a suicide mode I'm not seeing, that doesn't sound too good.

I can't see the advantage, really.

With silos, it prolly doesn't make much difference, but if you put radar on a city, that's two birds with one stone.
