guess wrong on all counts
why hasn't it been done? Because the senior staff would lose their status and fleets of shiny toys, and the howls of complaint from the vested interests such as BAE and the MOD would be enormous
Its obviously not a total solution, and would have been useless in an all-out war against the Commies, but if all you want is a low-risk attack force against a country like Libya / Argentina with minimal capability to retaliate then its ideal.
Another reason its not been considered is that too many people in "the establishment" think like you: they've got a molehill in their garden which they call "K2"
