I think this fellow is passing on the results of the barracks rumor mill. My post at number 11 will show that I mainly agree with you wrt smaller tactical ordinance and radiation dispersal. The dude was probably trying to get a rise out of me.
And it was FReepers that mentioned emptying a Trident on them, but in retrospect, that seems harsh.
I like your neutron scenario, and I'm glad the real actors for our side don't operate with the emotionalism of FReepers or retired Korean vets.

I know. I have read the posts. It sounds good, but they are not thinking about the ramifications. They are probably young, so the idea of devastating Iraq and NK with big, powerful weapons has a certain appeal, not to mention the element of morbid curiosity.
What they need to understand is that the damage done by CB agents, while horrific and psychologically much scarier, is a veritable walk in the park compared to the results of nuclear strikes.
If at all possible, it is best to keep the nuclear genie in the bottle.
