Wrong era, this isn't WWII, A 20 megaton H-bomb would vaporize baghdad. Nice of you to put such little value on U.S. soldiers.

Would I care what they think under these circumstances, not hardly.

What military ambitions? People hate America for lot's of different reasons, most completely undeserved.

You miss the point, the only effective way to sterilize a large area contaminated by B/C agents is by nuclear device, and yes I believe in the law of talion, use a weapon of mass destruction, get one used on you.....
