Then we send in ground troops, perhaps 50,000, and make sure there is not one living thing. Not even a weed.

Erase it from the planet. Literally.

I can think of a much more efficient way to do that, without having to put one American soldier in harm's way. We've actually done it twice before, once on 8/6/1945 and again on 8/9/1945.

“”We’ve actually done it twice before, once on 8/6/1945 and again on 8/9/1945.””

That would work!! How much thought do you think was given to collateral damage on those days? Or at the bombing of Dresden, Germany? Can’t see the Army or FDR (in the first case Truman) sitting in the WH wringing their hands, can you?
