theres nothing there worthy of such a bomb. and kill which people? the talib are in the mountains and caves and would likely not even notice such an event.

Huh? I didn’t say I would do it. I was just stating the rationale for such a weapon. John Gilbert seems to think it would contaminate mountain passes and prevent the Taliban or other hostile forces from infiltrating across the border. But that’s not true, and it’s not why the bomb was invented in the first place. Not even close. It’d be totally useless for that purpose.

I’m surprised that someone who was Minister of Defense doesn’t have a better understanding of the thing. But then he is in the Labour Party. Explains a lot. What a bunch of idiots. Libs everywhere are complete bumbling idiots.

I agree.. as I understood it, the neutron bomb was specifically designed for rapid depopulation, but preservation of the infrastructure for later occupation. It might not be optimal for the area in the border regions, but a few Pakistani cities could use some cleansing. When the liberals and their Soviet allies referred to it as the “capitalist bomb,” that was too much for Carter, who unilaterally killed the program.
