I know this is splitting hairs, but, much of foreign policy is exactly that to create the incentive to move forward toward peace. The USA military policy is not suppose to be about KILLING. Killing occurs while disarming and ending a regime that is unworthy to the USA national defense. The USA military is suppose to be about national defense, not being the only global superpower that can initiate war without any opposition.
The idea that the USA military is not about killing, is it's application to it's bullets. "Full Metal Jacket" (click here) is a bullet that has higher impact to end the enemies advance without extensive tissue damage.
The USA military is suppose to design weapons that will end conflict, not kill. The nuclear arsenal is in opposition of that directive.

The US has been actively lobbying for India's membership to this club since 2008 (Bush. He acted to entangle India in a nuclear web. Obama didn't take office until 2009.), when the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) granted an exemption to India. Since 2008, India has also been an unilateral adherent to MTCR.
The exemption was given during the previous Manmohan Singh regime, because of growing Indo-US relations (the nuclear deal was signed in 2008), India's clean non-proliferation record and tight export control, unlike Pakistan....
...According to its website, the MTCR (click here) is an 'initiative to address the increasing proliferation of nuclear weapons by addressing the most destabilising delivery system for such weapons'.
The MTCR seeks to limit the risks of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by controlling the export of goods and technologies that could make a contribution to delivery systems (other than manned aircraft) for such weapons.
In this context, the regime places particular focus on rockets and unmanned aerial vehicles capable of delivering a payload of at least 500 kg to a range of at least 300 km and on equipment, software, and technology for such systems.
