And “liberal usage of nukes”? Even during the height of the Cold War, the Armed Forces (officially) maintained that any usage of nuclear weapons would be limited to targets whose value made up for the damage that would wrought by them. Large formations of troops and armour, strategically important targets like ammo or fuel stockpiles, command bunkers, and other targets which demanded something larger than a conventional bomb. I cannot begin to guess at what sort of targets Coulter thinks are worthy of a nuke on the modern battlefield, but I imagine they would involve a outrageously high civilian body count.
