It's a plane dropping bombs. It's unsourced. It doesn't show peace. Hell, it barely even shows superior firepower.

The page is about American nuclear weapons rather than any kind of Bigger Stick philosophy.

But still, a stealth bomber dropping a ton of smaller bombs is hardly indicative of that.

Pull the current. The page is about the US nuclear forces, and I don't know about the US including nuclear carpet bombing in its strategy.

4.1 and 4.3 look like generic missiles to me. 4.4 seems more like it belongs on a Russian nuclear force page (which exists at From Russia with Nukes). 4.2 looks just a bit boring.

How about a picture of the Enola Gay like this for example? Recognizable as both nuclear and American.

Edit: In a very technical sense of the word it also brought peace.

In the very least, can we zap the current image?

I'm good to zap the current on quality issues alone.

Pull it. How bout this? To be fair I am not entirely sure what this trope is.

It's a useful notes page about the US nuclear arsenal.

^^ Not even close to useful as a "Peace Through..." image.

Not to mention it's already the image for History of the Cold War, and an image is only to be used for one page illustration.

Any objections before zapping the current?

No objection here to yanking the current. Still no suggestions as to any replacement, though.

I'm not entirely sure this trope can be illustrated.

Clock is up with no progress; closing.
