To us, the only difference between peace and war is where we place our bombs.
General Curtis E. LeMay
Commander, US Strategic Air Command, 1948-1957
He was the Cold War's fiercest warrior. His very first war plan drawn up in 1949, proposed delivering, "the entire stockpile of atomic bombs in a single massive attack." That meant dropping 133 A-bombs on 70 cities within 30 days. He argued that, "if you are going to use military force, then you ought to use overwhelming military force. Use too much and deliberately use too much.. youll save lives, not only your own, but the enemy's too."
