That was a type O. Here is the correction
Aside from having the scenario wrong the tactical nuke thing is completely overboard. The only time I ever recall the talk of nukes being used was when UN forces were forced into tactical withdrawal by Chinese troops in Korea.
General Macarthur (the commander of UN Forces) was a vocal proponent of using Atomic weapons during the initial stages of the war.
President Truman also threatened to use nukes during a press conference on November 30, 1950.
