"Seems like those fears disappeared all of a sudden with Brandon and Brenda in charge."
How very strange; IIRC, the same thing happened under Ford, Carter, Raygun, the Bushes, Clinton, and Obama. The one who scared Rat the most? JFK during the Cuban missile crisis.

'Fracture Jaw': The Army's Plan to Use Tactical Nuclear Weapons During the Vietnam War | Military.com
Perhaps nothing is more indicative of Westmoreland's resolve at Khe Sanh than "Fracture Jaw," a plan he put forward to Adm. U.S. Grant Sharp Jr., the commander in chief, Pacific. On Jan. 24, 1968, Westmoreland asked Sharp to move tactical nuclear weapons into northern Quang Tri province as a last-ditch effort to prevent North Vietnamese forces from capturing Khe Sanh. The weapons would be moved by sea from Guam under the utmost secrecy and deployed in the mountains of South Vietnam around Khe Sanh.

Upon hearing the plan was set in motion, President Lyndon B. Johnson was livid and ordered Westmoreland to shut it down.
