Drop the bombs, the big ones, please.

I appreciate the comment in the comments section. However, I am somewhat confused taking those comments with the original proposition, which appears some kind of events where nuclear weapons on indiscriminately used on large innocent populations. Initially, the first round, I thought you were advocating a more aggressive military policy and geared toward a where the use of nuclear weapons would be an alternative to ground forces or something similar to that. Therefore, I will continue with the original counter position that today (excluding the past) the United States should not consider the deployment of nuclear weapons against in an offensive military campaign and in reality the United States should work on maintaining the remaining the large stockpile that remain on US soil. If you’ve have watched or read anything about our current weapons systems then you’re probably aware that many of the technologies system are several decades old and many arsenals still use floppy discs.[1] The article I provided says that some says this makes the technology very secure because it is close impossible to hack. Another article in Forbes worth reading provides a good summary of the shape of our arsenal.[2] At the bottom I found a clip that provides a quick overview of all the potential problems.I don’t pretend to know very much about the technology or claim to have direct experience in that area, but from news accounts and from military reports on the subject, as well as having some causal friends that have worked at the sites in George and North Carolina they are falling apart. Below I provided a funny HBO video make a good case for the danger of nuclear weapons not only as conventional weapon but as something incredibly dangerous for people living near these sites. In fact, last year the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, the last uranium enrichment site in the United States, closed about 35 from my house and 25 minutes from my business. After it closed, obviously, many people had jobs, but what continues to worry me is whether the contamination site will leak into the ground water. In the late 1990s, they had to shut down the site temporarily because traces of technetium-99 and polychlorinated biphenyl were found in people’s water wells and a year or two before that the site had to be shut down because of radioactive sludge bubbling out of the ground a mile away because somebody (several decades before) decided to bury several barrels off-site, which would when the radioactive stuff from the barrels they were in someone’s backyard. For all these reasons, and others, Con believes we should NOT “drop the bombs, the big ones” as legitimate military policy or to settle geo-political rivalries that are likely temporary. But the main reason we need to re-think the entire issue of “the big bombs” is that in reality they won’t be bombs from our enemies, rather they will be accidently events. Only a while back did the National Security Archive declassify an incident where an Air Force bomber dropped two nuclear weapons in North Carolina, thankfully they did not detonate. Any conversation about dropping big bombs, specifically nuclear weapons has to realize they the most likely victim of their use are not enemies threatening the country but by not maintaining or keeping in mind the fact these very old systems remain in sites throughout the country and they continue to age. http://www.youtube.com...
