Nuclear war has really never been on my mind much at all. Other forms of warfare, I'm sure of it, took up far more mindspace, being a military brat with the experience of my father being sent to war twice before I was an adolescent.
Didn't we learn anything from dropping atomic weapons? Would someone truly use such a destructive war weapon as to obliterate themselves as well as their enemies? I have a hard time wrapping my head around thaat one.
I looked over that wall and watched the films at Checkpoint Charlie. To me, it was a huge symbol of the prevalence of humanity to escape oppression more than a symbol of the Cold War.
