We’ve had the ‘limited war’ doctrine since 1951 since the Truman administration after Truman threatened to use nukes in the Korean conflict. That’s how long we’ve dedicated ourselves to losing.
I stand corrected. Thanks.

I think we can all agree that nukes pose a special problem. It wouldn’t strain credulity to claim we’re going all out without them. I date “limited war” policy to McNamara and the Whiz Kids.
