Thank you Merriam Webster. It's not my problem if your understanding of mathematics only runs to arithmetic if I'm talking algebra.

Doctrinaire observations notwithstanding, your "guy who pushes the nuke launch button" is the functional equivalent of a general. Whether he razes a city by pushing a button, or giving an order is largely irrelevant. It's not like the general gives the order to attack to each and every soldier under his command.

I didn't say an army can't cause mass destruction, but I said it is not a weapon of mass destruction. One big difference is that a WMD can be used by one nut to cause that damage. But an army needs the support of a large number of people, which is one reason why it's a different animal and not a basis for comparison.
