    Agreed, not a good thing. Abu Ghraib ring any bells?

    See? We can do this all day long but in the end the fact is that these “tactical nukes” weren’t used to take out parts of the command structure, but to vaporise not one but two major civilian population centres.

        I could probably say the same for San Fransisco if it was chosen.

          You absolutely could. San Fran was a major logistics hub during the Second World War.

              yet it’s no big deal when done abroad.

              I see you aren’t interested in any serious discussion considering that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a major event in the American cultural consciousness and still evoke strong reactions even today.
