If the day of assuming any SLBM launch being nuclear is about over an we are over a decade in to the USAF Prompt Global Strike (PGS) and Navy Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) concepts … I think it is silly to stay on the sidelines.

This isn’t the 1980s, this is approaching the middle of the 21st Century. Time of willingly refuse to have this in our weaponeering toolbox is past.
