Questions About The Nuclear Cruise Missile Mission

Questions About The Nuclear Cruise Missile Mission: During a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on March 16, Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member of the committee, said that U.S. Strategic Command had failed to convince her that the United States needs to develop a new nuclear air-launched cruise missile; the LRSO (Long-Range Standoff missile). Senator Feinstein has raised some important questions about the scope of nuclear strategy: How useful should nuclear weapons be and for what type of scenarios?
