The Pentagon is really going retro now.\u00a0 The artwork at the head of the article is so 1950s comics. And this article tells us that the Five Sided Chinese checkers building is considering reviving an old proposed weapons system.<\/p>\n

From the article: The first sign of a 21st Century nuclear war might be command post sensors lighting up and aircraft radios buzzing as pilots notice a strange-looking cloud forming. Heat rises as ground troops a few dozen miles away feel the winds shift.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Satellite communications are out. So are some ground links.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

U.S. and allied command posts can\u2019t reach brigades in the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Forward deployed troops would see the intelligence finally come streaming in, followed by orders from the Combatant Command \u2014 strike back, use our tactical nukes if you must. And by the way, some unlucky troops will need to roll into that area to assess the damage, counterattack and aid any survivors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The world has not seen a nuclear strike in combat since 1945. But a nuclear attack from an enemy \u2014 and potential U.S. counter strike \u2014 is a scenario that\u2019s drawing renewed attention from the Defense Department as the military prepares for the grim prospect of full-scale combat operations involving nuclear weapons. – Article<\/p>\n

My idea of a tactical nuke is when you guys show up at my door, complaining that you ate too many oysters or shrimp and you’re about to explode from within.<\/p>\n

Aren’t the nuke subs supposed to take care of this problem? Or is this an effort to revive something from the Cold War, the idea that we could just launch those nuke missiles from gun emplacements and wait a few minutes?\u00a0 I realize that this proposal is aimed at getting\u00a0commanders to think about and plan how operations will be impacted should an opponent use nuclear \u00adweapons, in all service branches. I am also quite aware that the Norks under Fatty Kim da T’ird have nuclear capability which can be weaponized and delivered, which they have in the past threatened to use. Pakistan and India have nuclear missiles aimed at each other, so no, I don’t take this lightly.<\/p>\n

If it’s being brought to public attention, even at a modest level, there’s plenty going on that is not in the public eye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
