It’s not as easy as it sounds because these are not trails that are out in the open,” Goldwater allowed, removing the glasses for emphasis, revealing uncharacteristic bags under his eyes. “There have been several suggestions made. I don’t think we would use any of them. But defoliation of the forests by low-yield atomic weapons could well be done. When you remove the foliage, you remove the cover.” It could be done, he added, “in a way that would not endanger life.” Wouldn’t that risk a fight with China? Smith asked. “You might have to,” Goldwater responded. “Either that, or we have a war dragged out and dragged out. A defensive war is never won.” Months earlier Goldwater had gone even further in an interview—insisting that atomic weapons should be used—and no one had paid any attention. But after Dr. Strangelove, a threshold had been crossed. Now merely mentioning the Bomb as a bad idea that had been proposed was enough to seal the conclusion for much of the voting public: Barry Goldwater was a maniac. “GOLDWATER’S PLAN TO USE VIET A-BOMB,” blared the San Francisco Examiner (subhead: “I’d Risk a War”).
