    Special Forces Parachuted With Nukes Strapped To Them During The Cold War Special Forces “Green Light” teams trained to deploy small nuclear bombs called Special Atomic Demolition Munitions during the Cold War.


    Jumping with a pack attached to a long rope was established practice in
    WW2, that way you could get on the ground with plenty of food and ammo.

    Special Forces Parachuted With Nukes Strapped To Them During The Cold War
    Special Forces “Green Light” teams trained to deploy small nuclear
    bombs called Special Atomic Demolition Munitions during the Cold War.

    And, all that extra weight had landed before the human
    body did. Not going to add to the stress and strain
    and brake more bones etc.

    Hmmm, what a job. Hope you avoid detection in the plane,
    and while falling in the air, and while hiking to your
    destination. Then hope you got enough time to hike
    far away!
