"Thus, in principle, a positron bomb could be a step toward one of the military's dreams from the early Cold War: a so-called "clean" superbomb that could kill large numbers of soldiers without ejecting radioactive contaminants over the countryside." I dont see how this will be helpful, we already have the capability to kill lots of soldiers but we wont do it because THEY are violating geneva conventions.
Unless we are willing to use the weapons we already have, it is a waste of time to even consider upgrading.

I disagree completely.
We must have the resources to obliterate our enemy.
If the military leaders and the executive leaders choose to use it, we have it available.

The entire point of this weapon system is that you can obliterate your enemy and occupy hsi former terrain and beging reconstruction almost immediately. Whereas ith current nuke technology, the terrain is unusable for a rather lengthy period of time.
