Cohen.

This is coolbert:

Here from the obituary section of the Chicago Tribune - - two days ago, the death of the famous American physicist Samuel Cohen is reported:

"OBITUARIES"

"SAMUEL COHEN [1921-2010] "

"Neutron bomb's 'father,' advocate"

"LOS ANGELES - - Samuel Cohen, the father of controversial tactical nuclear weapon known as the neutron bomb, which was designed to kill people other living things but inflict minimal damage on buildings and other property, died Sunday at his home in Los Angles."

AH, YES, the neutron bomb! I remember the furor created in the late 1970's and early 1980's when the weapon was actually put into manufacture and deployed to NATO forces in Europe.

Such a controversial weapon. Kills people, leaves the buildings intact. "Such a perverse logic" was the comment you heard over and over.

WITHOUT PERSONS ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDING HOW THE WEAPON WAS TO BE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED IN COMBAT.

The bomb, as I understand it, fired from a conventional artillery piece, the target being those mass formations of Soviet tanks as would have been employed by the Soviet during a blitzkrieg offensive against NATO forces.

Those tank armies and GROUPS of tank armies during a breakthrough offensive, threatening the very existence of the western European nations, NATO, the American army.

The neutron bomb, releasing an overpowering and overwhelming dose of neutron radiation, incapacitating either instantly or in a few hours the tank crews of the Soviet tanks, while LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE FROM BLAST AND HEAT!!

A TACTICAL BATTLEFIELD NUCLEAR WEAPON NEVER INTENDED TO BE USED AGAINST CITIES OR AN URBAN POPULACE!! Repeat this to everyone over and over.

Here is an interesting quotation regarding the neutron bomb:

"to kill a man in such a way that his suit

will not be stained with blood,

in order to appropriate the suit."

- - N. Khrushchev.
