      Agreed, not a good thing. Abu Ghraib ring any bells?

      See? We can do this all day long but in the end the fact is that these “tactical nukes” weren’t used to take out parts of the command structure, but to vaporise not one but two major civilian population centres.

        That’s not even fucking close.

        Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both chosen for their military and industrial importance.
