"The lethal possibilities of atomic warfare in the future are
frightening. My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had
adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not
taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women
and children."
William Leahy
Nuclear/Atomic Warfare
Nuclear or Atomic Warfare: "is a battle in which
nuclear weapons
are used. This has only happened once - the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki by
the
United States of America
against the
Empire of Japan
which ended
World War II.
Today the term usually refers to confrontations
in which opposing sides are both armed with
nuclear weapons. Compared to conventional
warfare, nuclear warfare is much more
destructive in both range coverage and extent of
damage, and has long-term, severe, damaging
effects that can last years, decades, or even
centuries after the initial attack. The
cumulative effect of a wide-scale nuclear war
could have such devastating and destructive
force that it is often seen as a scenario for
potential extermination of all life on Earth."
