I always wonder, supposedly if an army have a super laser cannon like an ion cannon or the particle beam cannon by their side. Then there is this giant monster attacking the city, should they use their super weapon to destroy this monster and risk destroying the entire city in the process or should they sent the entire army to destroy the monster and risk losing hundreds of lives in the process of battle? Many cartoons, movies and to a certain extent some television shows have this kind of scenario. One must think carefully before they act. But at what cost, nobody knows.
