Right in that the cover story of "scientific exploration" was clearly bullshit. The mission was to test the viability of deploying nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles under the ice sheet.
But wrong in that, as the actual mission proved utterly infeasible (as Gallileo might have said of glacial ice, "she moves"), it turned out that the science of determining the suitability of ice for nuclear annihilation purposes ... proved to be damned good and immensely valuable science.
(Science often piggy-backs on other activities --- astronomy on military activities, geology on coal and oil prospecting and extraction, to give two examples.)
The ice cores in which 700,000 -- 1.4 million year-old plant life were found at the bottom of a mile-deep glacial cover, showing that Greenland can in fact melt completely with minimal average global temperature change, in the news recently, came from Camp Century.
