You said -- "And we've never "nuked entire countries", so I'm not sure where that question is commin' from."
Well, it's probaby coming from "knee-jerk, armchair, military general wannabees".
All I can say is that it's a good thing that they never "made general".

Between you and me, I hope, and I have trust, that the US military will actually do what it takes to eliminate the threat after a 1-20 or worse nuke attack on our cities. I assume Russia may be off limits, but probably not China.
The islamic world will be hopefully be a memory.
