How many U.S. nuclear or atomic bombs (weapons of mass destruction) have been used to attack another country, in the entire history of the U.S.?

Yes, I know about the 2 atomic bombs, but has anything else (Weapons of Mass Destruction) ever been fired with the intent to kill civilians and/or military of another country?

Gas was used in WWI against enemy troops (by all nations participating on both sides), though rarely against civilian populations. By WWII use of gas in warfare was fairly taboo. WWII DID however, see the use of two nuclear bombs. Since then, the USA has followed a strict no illegal WMD policy.

No only 2 Nuclear weapons have ever been used in war in the history of the Earth.
Weapons of mass destruction have a much larger definition that includes Chemical and Biological weapons as well as some delivery systems for them depending on who's definition of WMD you use.

As far as nuclear/atomic bombs go, two... Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
If you're expanding the topic to WMDs (which include Biological and Chemical weapons, as well as nuclear), I have no idea.

Gas in WWI and the two nukes in WWII. We should fire one at Tehran, and twenty more into the Pakistan tribal lands....
