I should mention that there isn't a single nuclear weapon that is less than 25 years old at this point. I haven't actually read up on the Goldwaters-Nichols stuff that ended SAC and started STRATCOM, but I get the feeling those weapons are getting a bit... old?
Not to mention that in this day and age, the only nation I can even think of that would be nuts enough to light one off is North Korea- and their missiles are more of a threat to shipping in the Yellow sea as the fragments fall to earth. Good thing they don't seem to fancy building space colonies. |

Wow. Just wow. Which hell are you from, mr. devil? And the suicidal war? WHO was the one contemplated on how to "let them(Japanese) shoot the first shot" ? Roosevelt!! it's in the Secretary of War, Henry Lewis Stimson's memorials! And who give the ultimatum, "Hull Note" to Japan, well knowing it meant a war? Do you know who shot the first shot at Pearl harbor? Have you ever heard of Flying Tigers? US is the country that dropped an A-bomb to an Asian country by the order of a KKK affiliated president, and there is not a tiny bit of exaggeration in this statement. International politics is never a simple black and white. There are different views. I don't completely hold with Hiroshima Nagasaki sentiment either. But I think your view is a bit one sided dude. Oh, wait, even 65 years later, America is doing the same thing to Iraq. Where was the weapon of mass destruction? Saddom was a bad guy (even though 'the weapon of mass destruction' was a downright lie) so these Iraqi citizens deserves killings and rapes eh? |

I'm with ya cranks and I'm in the U.S. Air Force! :/
I'm also facepalming @ dannavy85 because we (Americans) DO note and remember Pearl Harbor (and 9/11 and other attacks on US civilians) but we don't exactly honor the dates we attacked the citizens of foreign countries. We will 'never forget 9/11' but apparently it's totally cool to forget bombing the shit out of Iraqi civilians we did in March-May 2003. It may not be 'fair' but nations tend to remember and honor their own fallen; the U.S. clearly does this so to say 'we can do it but the Japanese can't!" is so very very asinine. Moreover, nothing justifies nuking a country -- NOTHING. Radiation is far too inhumane for a modern nation to consider in its repertoire for warfare. And your attitude of "well that's what happens" is scary, I'm talking 'lacking empathy and sanity' scary (Timothy McVeigh scary!). Super overkill. Thus I shall facepalm in the corner and hope that I'm not doomed to a fate of being a douche-y veteran when I get older... |

I'm not saying military is bad though. It's the opposite. Military forces at this point of human evolution are very important and we need them and need to keep the balance among them so we don't get into a head on collision like WW2. |
