The military reference - the "snap count" was affectionately adopted by the American military during the cold war to describe the retaliatory chain of events that take place in the event of a nuclear attack on the United States. So if the Soviet Union launched its missiles, the "snap count" referred to the scripted, automated steps taken by the military machine to ensure a healthy mutual destruction of our attackers.
