Frankly, is anyone really prepared to fight a nuclear war, limited or otherwise?

I suspect we and the Russians are more prepared than most others, save for perhaps Israel.

We are prepared to launch. No one is prepared for the consequences of a launch.

Yep.

I wonder what they consider "prepared" to be?

How does one ensure it remains "limited"???

For all they say, the Light Fighter mentality is still dominant in the military. They have locked the Heavy Army away in a closet and would rather ignore it until it is needed, but, they feel it is really not needed. Tremendous loss of knowledge and over reliance on technology.

The American warrior will still put steel on steel whatever the situation. Americans love to fight and the warrior spirit remains strong. No matter what the odds.
