think the innocent people will not turn and become your very
enemy?
in modern military terms, geneva convention not withstanding,
there are no innocents
the economy of the home front sustains the military
efforts on the war fronts.. hence, they are both legitimate targets

Then about the 25 kiloton bomb... it did not do its job. it is
like a horror show. it kills it victims through radiation slowly.
it could not kill all instantly which the megatons ones can which i
can say is more humane.
well, these days, with modern technology, it is possible to have
low-radiation "clean" nukes... might consider that instead... 100
mt will even destroy Sg if u're not careful really
i would suggest low yield tactical warheads
instead... 1-5 mt... same big bang, same psyhological impact, less
fallout.
Then the talk on genocide. please define genocide check your
dictionary. there is two players the victims and the excuter. well
in my idea is ALL is eliminated there is no victor only losers.
genocide implies that u kill only one race... in a scenario like
this, u kill everybody who happens to be there
hence no discrimination.
do you understand what i am driving at? if not i have nothing to
say... i too valued life but when u are really forced into a
corner, lets see what will take over brain to control your body and
please dun tell me that will not happen to u. well if u duno the
answer... it is called instinct. unless you are prepared to die
without any retaliation. please do not that i a talking about a
whole nation and not just a person.
totally agree with u.. i guess if war really breaks out, its
gonna be particularly brutal because nobody here is prepared to
start a war unless there's no choice, but once started, we don't
know how to fight anything less than total war.
but since Sg has no nukes, we'll just stick to those big FAEs
everyone talks about every once in awhile... they'll give a big
bang too
