Part II - Never bring a knife to a gunfight...


"The basic rules to a gun fight are as follows: (1) Never bring a knife to a gunfight; bring a gun… preferably, bring at least two guns. (2) Bring all of your friends who have guns. (3) Life is expensive; ammo is cheap… anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. (4) Only hits count; the only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. (5) If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun. (6) If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and moving. (7) Always cheat; the only unfair fight is the one you lose. (8) Have a plan! (9) Have a backup plan because the first plan won’t work. (10) The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get." Adapted from Special Forces List Team House, http://teamhouse.tni.net/Misc/gunfight/rules.htm

           What makes nuclear weapons so different from conventional weapons? That question can be likened to explaining the difference between night and day. Basically, the process leading up to detonation is very different, as is the degree of damage inflicted after detonation. Basically, the difference between nuclear and conventional weapons is like that of bringing a knife to a gunfight.
