Dropping nukes against people with bamboo pikes sounds rather absurd.

Not if it's your tender belly about to be pierced by a bamboo pike.

Ummm...the nuke would not exactly be helping you much at that point...

It helped me a great deal, since it made the invasion unnecessary.

Sigh. (I know what you meant; my father was on an LST outbound from
Guam to Okinawa when the war ended.)

Someone about to be skewered on a bamboo pike wouldn't benefit much
at that moment from a nuke. It's either too late, or it's too late for
him.
