NATO planned on using low yield nukes if the old Soviet Union invaded.
One small tactical nuke isn't that bad, but dozens of them quickly add
up to massive damage all over the place.  Remeber that the trend in
ICBM's and SLBM's has been to more and smaller yield nukes.  They
destroy a larger area.	Ok, you don't get huge craters, but unless
you're going after barried targets, do you need them?
