[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 580398, member: 2189"] Thanks. I understand what Sober and Scratch are saying because I've been there too. It does seem to make all the sense in the world and from a POV they are right. But when one begins to look at a vastly bigger picture and take in a lot more facts to consider, for me, it just doesn't work anymore as much as I'd like for it too. It would be nice to think there was some noblity not that long ago. We can't change the past no matter how hard we try but if we consider the facts, those "iffy" facts out of respect for Sober and Scratch POV's, maybe we won't close our eyes to gov't in blind trust that allows such tragic events to ever take place. I see nuke weapons other than their capacity to scare the larger public for political ends as all but obsolete. The precision ordinance and gudied weapons we have now make it possible to hit strategic targets while leaving surrounding areas less impacted. I know these weapons aren't perfect but compared to where we were and where we are now, the need to destroy a whole city to take out a military target is just not needed anymore unless the purpose is to instill mass fear in the population and this means the act become psychological. Nukes IMO serve no other purpose now than to be psy-ops weapons over mass populations. I believe Randolph Bourne was right when he wrote [URL="http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/hist_texts/warhealthstate1918.html"][COLOR=red]"War is the Health of the State"[/COLOR][/URL] [/QUOTE]
