True but given the history of Nuclear weapons exagerations or no exagerations nobody can deny thier destructive powers and 99% of casualties are going to be Non Combatants.

That depends who you target. The world has only ever seen startegic nuclear weapons used in way, which target entire cities.

No one has ever used a tactical nuclear device in war. It is entirely possible to use on on a battlefield. For example, it is unlikely that civilians would be living in the vicinity of an artillery battalion positioned at an active front line. In such a case, a short-range tactical device could be used to eliminate the battery with more certaincy than a conventional strike, and still be 99% sure of not causing civilian casualties.
