Bummer. This is not a good thing, I'm afraid.

[ZOOKER]

Why is this not a good thing?

Does any branch of our armed services even use an 8-inch artillery piece? If it won't fit, why should we keep it?

[CasearianDaoist]

They are kind of an obsolete weapon, are they not? I will be concerned when we start dismantling nuclear cruise missles. Remember that we were outrageously out numbered back then. Now we have bases in Uzbekistan and are about to open one in Georgia. Let us how that the RUssians upheld their part of the bargin. I would not, however want small tactica, nukes emmeded with our troops in the field.

Bush seems to have lifted the ban on small nuke research. This might be the was to go - let fall out (of the non-political type, at least.)

If you are judged by the Quantity of Nukes you have, it's better to have a 2003 Nuke vs. a 1957 Nuke.

au contraire nuclear artillary was always one of Robert Oppenheimer's nuttier ideas.

Position nuclear weapons where they can be overrun by an advancing Warpac force. Second worst idea ever. (The Davy Crockett nuclear bazooka beats it)
