In my opinion, and that's what it is, contemplation that using Nuclear Weapons to fight in a war is a dangerous threshold to cross. As a deterrant to avoid World War and nuclear war Nuclear weapons . Mutually Assured Destruction was one of the best policies and thought to avoid all out war but to know that there are military planners or politicians that would contemplate that using Nuclear Weapons on a "limited" basis is truly scary, at least to me. Nuclear Weapons best use, I believe, is more as a deterrent and not as a real offensive weapon system. If used against us then I fully support their use in a defensive roll but not in an offensive roll as a tool for any military to use against another. I'm not a peace at any cost person and believe there is a place and need for a nation's military but I do not believe there is an offensive use for Nuclear Weapons in today's World given that Nukes would surely be released upon us as well in retaliation.
