The story of the 'Davy Crockett,' a nuclear recoilless rifle once fielded by the US Army

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. very interesting “training film” it doesn’t take a huge nuclear weapon to cause massive damage. Those were the days of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) that kept war at a standstill.
We look back and say: How could they have thought these things,” Johnson said. “Well, if you weren’t there at the time, you don’t have any empathy for the kinds of decisions these guys were making under stress.”

This post about the Davy Crocket neuclear weapon is scary as hell. I understand using neuclear arsonels as a deterant to all out war. I hope that they are never used but understand why we have them.

Frightening but needed.
