Lookit what he did. He made massive fields of grass and *then* made cows which can eat grass and give milk just for us to put in our tea and meat for McDonalds. Isn't that amazing!?

[irreligionist]

He also saved all those people on the plane that ditched into the Hudson. Amazing!

[Rum]

He made gunpowder and napalm and nuclear tactical weapons.

Area weapons are not up-close-and-personal. Where's the fun in that.

If you like your nuclear weapons up-close-and-personal then you really, really, and I do mean really, need to get your head examined.

If you can see the target with a MK1 eyeball it's too close for a nuke.

x-fucking-zakly. I may or may not have seen a report that may or may not have ever existed that purportedly claimed the Sovs were cool with "man-pack nukes" because they saw no real need to tell the troops what they were packing. Detonation was to be remote, of course.

Meaning that the guy carrying it didn't have the trigger, so once he was in position some REMF would push the button?

He wouldn't even know what he was carrying. Neither would the two "politicals" that were there to insure he went where he was told. Luckily the KGB and the GRU couldn't decide who would have control of them, so they (theoretically) weren't deployed.

KGB traditionally had control of all Soviet nuclear weapons, didn't they?

KGB had control of the warheads, but not the missiles. The argument here, however, was that it was not a political decision but a tactical one. The US canned the Davey Crocket because of similar issues.

Why? Give the warheads to the intelligence specialists and let them deploy them personally. 2 birds, 1 stone.
