What this doesn't spook you?

I'm an airforce brat, son of a disaster perparedness expert from the cold war era. Pops used to bring home geiger counters and show us why we should never put pocketwatches with glow in the dark dots and hands into our pockets. Even Coleman lantern mantles, the fabric that you ignite to make the light, are radio active. We were constantly surrounded with the fear of nuclear disaster either from an attack or from an accident.

I remember when we were stationed at a huge B-52 base in North Dakota. One of the B-52's blew up on the airfield blowing out windows all over the base. I didn't think about it until later... what if it was pre-loaded with a nuke? We're talking about a time when the DOE thought it was ok to test radioactive wheaties on people to determine the effects of radiation sickness.

I'm fucking glad it's over! But we are constantly building and testing more nukes and more and more nations are jumping on the bandwagon. What i think is ironic is that we have the balls to tell people that they can't develop nukes when we have this amazing shitload of them stashed all over the world.
