That was my point, FRiend. I was angry about the hypocrisy on the Hill. The politicians cry big crocodile tears about every US military personnel KIA, but when it comes time to build a weapon that will help save US lives, they run away from it.
I love the nuke bunker busters. They need to be built and deployed ASAP. So does the "neutron" bomb.
Oh, BTW, destroying an enemies ability to see, hear, speak and move, is an excellent first strike tactic.
I'm definitely in favor of what the military calls "force multipliers" -- tools where a single GI (or aircraft, or bomb) can do a job formerly done by applying overwhelming force or numbers.
Example: bunker buster vs carpet bombing...
If that means our troops can sit back safely at a distance and just enjoy the show, so much the better!
