I mean that's crazy especially given what we know today about nuclear weapons and we were making an infantry deployable nuclear weapons system that would have been prone to misuse.

I trained on the Davy Crockett and figured out pretty quickly that I'd die if I ever had to employ it combat. Thus we called it the Kamakaze Krockett

No more crazy than the SADM that SOF types were suppose to intsert, withdraw a "safe distance" and detonate.
