Who rejected the concept of a limited war?

Answer 1

The term "Limited War" was unknown to men born and raised before the advent of Atomic Weapons. World War 2 had been fought to WIN! And the men who WON WORLD WAR TWO believed in fighting to WIN. That meant USING ANY WEAPON AVAILABLE, including atomic weapons (as was USED to end WW2 by these very same men). These WW2 "Military Men" had to be "Re-educated for the Cold War", in which these men had to accept the fact, that if the communists had "Nucs", and the US had "Nucs", then there would be only "mutually assured destruction" if we used these atomic weapons on each other. Therefore, it was a "stand-off", in common usage...a "Cold War." The "Old Guard" had to learn how to fight wars without using ATOMIC WEAPONS; Limited to only conventional bombers, tanks, artillery, warships, and infantrymen (Vietnam and Korean Wars).
