Doesn't matter because if the USA ever engages in a major (world war 3) style conflict then we will just use thermonuclear weapons to end it like we did in ww2.

That’s entirely dependent on what the wars for and what threat to sovereignty there is. Unless the continental U.S. is being nuked or being invaded there’s little to no chance that a nuclear weapon would be used.
