did not scare me because a bomb attack wasn't real to me. By the time that I was in junior high in the 60s, we no longer did those drills, which were futile in the case of a nuclear bomb anyway.

But, hiding behind a locked door and hearing gun shots and the screams of people you know, or being in the room while your teacher and classmates are getting shot and dying, is very real. PTSD for a lifetime.

The fascist party is traumatizing our children. They are child abusers.
