Do people still laugh when children are taught to duck and cover in the event of a nuclear war? Whoops, we don’t teach those drills anymore because a nuclear exchange isn’t as likely.

Children were taught that, because it works!

As a soldier in Germany during the 1970's, this is exactly what were were taught to do and were expected to attack the enemy after the initial blast.

Duck and cover, storing food in the basement ect. gave way to “just nuke me already” fatalism around ‘85. Maybe that is because the ice was melting I don’t know. Anybody else feel that was the case? (born in ‘72)
