Will the US Launch ‘Mini-Nukes’ Against Iran?

http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=2032

This article by Professor Michel Chossudovsky describes the casual and complete way in which neoconservatives have incorporated the use of tactical nuclear weapons into US war doctrine. These weapons are widely distributed, and theater commanders now have the discretion to attack with nuclear weapons. Anyone so naive as to believe that there is a scrap of morality anywhere in the US government should read this documented account. Has the reformulation of US war doctrine transformed service in the US military into an immoral act?

  1. Has the reformulation of US war doctrine transformed service in the US military into an immoral act?

    I assume that the “Good German” “just following orders” defense presented at the Nuremberg Trials as well as the Geneva Conventions are the issues presented. Based on these standards the answer is yes, it is not only immoral, but criminal as well.
    However, this should be qualified as applicable to those who fully understand what they are doing and have enough information to make a moral choice. I think this excludes the vast majority of young men in our country. Looking back over 40 years to when I was a young soldier, it is stunning how deeply propagandized and politically ignorant I was. I think it far worse today.

    From that perspective, I think it a criminal indictment against our entire society to acquiesse in allowing wars of aggression, predator drones, depleted uranium, torture and extrordinary rendition and now nuclear weapons in a deranged quest for capitalist accumulation and dominance. Albert Einstein wrote more than sixty years ago that mankind must develop past the predatory stage. It is time.
