"Bottom line, the US is more secure with a mix of strategic AND tactical nuclear weapons. "

So would every other country but then would we be more secure? Our very superior conventional forces might then not be that superior. I prefer battles in our strong suit.

You need to get a clue about proliferation. What we have and don't have in our arsenal has zero influence on the fastest growing nuclear powers and their arsenal make up. If the US followed your logic, we'd eventually end up getting black mailed. Are you one of those stealth anti-nuke activist types who was passing around those "sane freeze" petitions back around '82? Golitsyn warned us about so called "disarmament" and "peace movements" that had KGB as the head of the hydra. Well?
