20. How would that change anything?
Edited on Wed May-21-08 02:23 PM by wuushew
A ground denoted nuke would still leave a radiological footprint of where the nuke was created.

Thus a counter-strike would still occur.


I think you will find ballistic missiles are a better form of deterrence than some guy in a truck.

Our first two atomic weapons weighed 8,800 and 10,000+ lbs respectively. Dispel the fantasy that some tourist will just backpack into a city somewhere.
