Should explain the MacArthur way of dealing with the NPRK. Wasn't he going to sow radioactive cesium 60 (or something like that that would last about 60 years) from the DMZ all the way up north. Should have done it. Now it's going to get radioactive south of the DMZ.

Yeah, MacArthur did want to use radioactivity. But I think Rumsfeld is thinking of more conventional use of unconventional weaponry.

We have never forsworn the use of nuclear weapons. We will obviously use them when we think they are necessary. For example, we will use them in the way we used them against Japan--i.e., in lieu of throwing a million men at the enemy.

Since NK is a nuclear power, so to speak, it's a lot easier to justify anyway. The American people would never let our POTUS put a million men in two different military theaters.
