Pentagon May Have Doubts on Preemptive Nuclear Moves

Pentagon May Have Doubts on Preemptive Nuclear Moves: “One former senior combatant commander said that planning for preemptive use of nuclear and conventional weapons was included in past doctrinal statements, but never in unclassified versions. ‘This is just a draft, but represents the lack of expertise on the part of some Pentagon staff members’ for including it in an unclassified document, he said.”

So the new news here isn’t the doctrine, it’s that the doctrine was mistakenly unclassified.

When the wishful thinking ends.
