For most military planners the atomic bomb (and later the hydrogen bomb) was just a more powerful version of existing bombs. It therefore had practically no impact on their ideas of how wars would be fought. Some however decided that only bombers would be needed to destroy any adversary, the rest of the military could be eliminated to save money.

However with the beginning of the Korean War it began to be realized that some wars might be "too small" to make the atomic bomb appropriate to use.
