because you fell victim to the policies of "rule by fear". Perhaps the difference is when all this was happening I was old enough to know that air raid, drills, duck and cover, and bomb shelters were a ruse to instill a culture of fear and yet make the people feel like they could somehow survive. My personal opinion that the only thing to do in event of a real nuclear launch was to bend over really, really far, and kiss your ass goodbye.
