I forget. Thirty years later and the current generation forgets the lessons from history. Aside from a major problem of lethal nuclear contamination. So be it. We want the whole world to hate us anyway.

Lets make nuclear weapons akin to 500 pound bombs. After all, its only someone else's land and problem. "If you got 'em, then use 'em I always say". After all, "might makes right". There are no consequences to unimpeded and unrestrained use of nuclear weapons - obviously. We should have used them in VietNam as Gen Curtis LeMay so strongly advocated. Why were politicians so stupid back then as to restrain the military? Obviously they must have been stupid because we lost the VietNam war.
