A technical correction for Megatron. Charlie Brown is an air force guy, not army. Never been in the army and does not directly represent them. As CJCS he represents all the services.

Randy George is inn charge of the army AKA its senior officer by position in the US Army

It would make sense if Israel was threatening to use neutron bombs, less fall out .

Of course then Dimona would become the focus of attention for Iran. I wonder if all the US activity is actually shipping off Israel’s spent rods.

Perhaps I am missing something but the use of a tactical nuclear weapon against southern Lebanon would also result in radiation contaminating parts or even all of Israel, which is a tiny country. It could also impact Jordan and other countries with fallout.

It all depends on size and design, which can vary very considerably. I have no particulars on what might be the case with Israel's nukes. This is a very serious matter, and for that reason my best guess--meaning, speculation--is that the hint is being used as a bullying threat to try to get the Lebanese government to start a civil war.

This is why Kennedy fought them tooth and nail on nukes. Course they killed him for it and got thier way but Israel is an existential threat to the world with victim complex they have.
