"The landmine would be remotely detonated."

Thats a good idea with that type of device, I understand G.I.s vetoed the idea of a nuclear hand grenade.

Maybe the atomic handgrenade was vetoed, but the Davey Crockett Rocket (with an atomic warhead) was deployed. Your Infantry battalion HQ crypto-clerk was in the loop to deliver any order to use it.

We have Freepers here who are so young they are under the very false impression that all the nukes have always been under tight lock and key, and available to be fired only on the command of the very highest levels.

Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!
