My dad lived in central Connecticut in the 50s, between the marine academy, electric boat, Sikorsky, the place that made all of our parachutes, the insurance companies which could have made rebuilding the rest of the country easier, and of course, in one of the most densely populated regions in the country, likely to get fallout from Boston or New York. He’s not sure if everyone at the time thought they would be hit first, but everyone around him thought CT would be wiped off the map
I think people all over were told that as cold war internal propaganda for the MIC. What I meant was Iived where a lot of our nukes were and are. That would definitely be a first strike area.
Ah yes, I was wondering if the end was going to be a long, painful, drawn-out one or if we’d go with a satisfying bang.
Satisfaction depends how far out ground zero actually is.
Never thought I would be more happy to live on the west coast of the US. Grew up in the most targeted zone with all out nukes.
