Are you insane. We did that once and have regreted it every second since. We and the Russians knew exactlt what they do and came close to using them several times. The Iranians see them as a supreme gift from God. I lived through the closing days of the cold war were almost every U.S. unit was carrying tactical or strategic nukes. The threat went away and they got locked in a bunker instead of a Mk41 VLS tube aboard a tico. I don't want to go back there, but if Iran gets nukes, it's exactly were we'll be.
