| such a blast would contaminate ground water in the region and depending on the size and makeup of the aquifer it could reach rivers in days. a conventional bomb would not cause this contamination and its performance would be almost equal. these nuclear bombs would only be useful in a nuclear engagement, which would be quite severe and bad enough already.
if nothing else, i am arguing that we are wasting our money and aggravating the military and political world by developing these weapons. |
