   • 1977 July 12, Herbert Scoville Jr., “A New Weapon to Think (and Worry) About”, in The New York Times‎^[1]:

     This is scarcely ideal for the battlefield where one would like to be sure that a soldier is out of action. Many years ago the Army withdrew from Europe the old Davy Crockett bazookalike nuclear weapon which had a yield of a few hundredths of a kiloton and would have killed primarily through neutrons; they seem now to have forgotten that experience.
