I meant whether Clark got any Nukes after the NSC approved the use
of Nukes in May 1953. <<
I was just kidding. And while I don't know if Clark got nukes after the
NSC approved the use, I would assume he already had those on hand since we
had nukes deployed worldwide back then. However, and while I have no way
of knowing, I suspect the NSC approval was conditional. That is, if China
and North Korea do not sign the peace treaty, forcing us to expand the war,
then nukes would be used in the attack. I also suspect the use of nukes
would have been limited to destroying airbases in China and the dams on the
Yalu River. The latter alone would have blacked out most of Manchuria and
limited China's ability to reinforce its forces in North Korea since it
would have destroyed (completely) most of the bridges downstream.
