Next we’ll have to write an environmental impact study before using any weapons.
Heck the paperwork trail to use a nuke has to be tremendous. The tricky part is the study to make sure there are no snail darters or other at risk lifeform in the target area.
Don't laugh. A county official here has to write an environmental impact statement for anything he does with gummint funds. Latest was to mount a flat screen display on an inside wall. Generally these run to about 30 typewritten pages. Fortunately he has a lot of boiler plate.
This is a stealth jobs program for environmentalists, because people wanting to get the federal contracts have to pay someone to do these environmental impact studies.
