Jeez. I thought that was about Nixon's +ACI-I just want you to think big, Henry+ACEAIg moment:

Nixon: I+IBk-d rather use the nuclear bomb. Have you got that ready?
Kissinger: That, I think, would just be too much.
Nixon: A nuclear bomb, does that bother you?+ICY I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christ+IBk-s sake+ACE The only place where you and I disagree is with regard to the bombing. You+IBk-re so goddamned concerned about civilians, and I don+IBk-t give a damn. I don+IBk-t care.
Kissinger: I+IBk-m concerned about the civilians because I don+IBk-t want the world to be mobilized against you as a butcher

And what if Johnson let Westmoreland have some nukes? Jeez.
