What a dreadful thought!

Sounds like Confessor Cromwell from Fallout 3 is running India’s nuclear preparedness...
“Give your bodies to Atom, my friends. Release yourself to his power, feel his Glow and be Divided.”
“Come forth and drink the waters of the Glow, for this ancient weapon of war is our salvation, it is the very symbol of Atom’s glory!”
“Behold! He’s coming with the clouds! And every eye shall be blind with his glory! Every ear shall be stricken deaf to hear the thunder of his voice!”
“Yea, your suffering shall exist no longer; it shall be washed away in Atom’s Glow, burned from you in the fire of his brilliance.”
“Each of us shall give birth to a billion stars formed from the mass of our wretched and filthy bodies.”
The fools in India and Pakistan have no idea of the horrific devastation even one nuke will do to both sides. To tell their people to put aside water and food for a couple weeks is absolutely absurd. Just look at what Japan looked like after tiny nukes were dropped ending WWII. Devastation as far as the eye could see. Lethal radioactivity. Firestorns day and night. Sure fellas, go ahead, nuke each other....good luck with that.
>The notice said that in the event of a nuclear attack, motorists should dive out of their cars in the direction of the flash to save themselves from being crushed by their vehicles.<
.
I will certainly remember that when I see that flash.
Thanks for the advice.

From the 50s: “Duck & Cover!” (Anyone else remember it?)
I've collected some American nuclear war pamphlets from various decades, and this sounds like the practical advice that the US govt. used to produce in the 1950s and early 1960s, eventually it got very bland and generic, and useless.
In my pamphlet collection you can see the change from adult to adult (man to man) sounding advice, and information with a scientific/soldierly tone, which eventually turned into adult speaking down to children type writing, with only vague and basic suggestions, the most general type of information about batteries and food and water.
This is what happens when the wrong toys fall into the wrong hands.
Ping.
Don’t worry. We can send all our daughters as a peace keeping force. They’ll likely be killed, but apparently that’s okay, according to our insane government.
Anyone have any idea what the best guess is on the typical “yield” of the Indian and Pak nukes?
India is fond of saying war with Pakistan is imminent.
