Has the US ever used a tactical nuke in combat? Has anyone ever used one in combat?

Tactical? No, nuking Japan in 45 was clearly strategic bombing.

Closest US ever was to use one was during Vietnam War, when command was urging Kennedy to give them clearance to use tactical nukes should Khe Sanh fall.
Before they succeeded, Marines broke siege and relieved base, which was later abondoned, after evacuation of personel and equipment

Looking for the best 9mm carry ammo for my Glock 19. I'd prefer to go with heavy bullets over +P+ so I don't have to deal with the extra bang, recoil, and stress on my gun. What's your suggestions?

Based on these results, the standard pressure seems better. They did better than +p on the heavy denim test by a larger margin than the +p did on the bare gel test, and without the extra pressure there's less recoil, bang, and stress on the gun.

Air Launch to Orbit

Quoted By:

So I've been looking into various air-launched satellite systems as part of a research project and it got me thinking about what kind of military applications they'd have.

Is there any huge benefit to things along the lines of pic related (ignoring the fact that it can't actually reach orbit)?

Or is it just a neat concept that doesn't have enough promise to warrant funding?

I'm sure primary defenses would be F16/18s. However, if we're talking air to ground (like if Putin went off the wall and decided to try and land a bunch of ruski tanks and APCs on free soil) I'm pretty sure Apaches would be handling it, considering they are owned and operated by almost every branch of the military.

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

That sounds like it makes it constitutional for the gov't to tax income and wealth.
