In some societies a soldier was expected to arm himself and pay for his own service. Those who could do so were ‘nobles,’ and the rest were mercenaries. If an army were to be nukular-armed, the soldier himself would be expected to provide his own nuke and the horse to carry it. In our modern army the soldiers have to provide their own AA batteries and toothpaste, which are just as important as their sidearms, so by extension we might consider our modern army to still be playing under the same rules. If we have a nukular-armed army, the soldiers would be much appreciated if they muster with their own weapons provided they are compatible with state-furnished weapons.

They do? 20mm or 30mm? Anti Aircraft batteries are more expensive now that they’re radar guided you know!

(Hasn’t been so long since I was a soldier that I forgot that 90% of what you kill is time.)
