Individual Protection Against Atomic Attack (1957)
#1


 
Quote:A documentary film currently in use for training soldiers against possible nuclear warfare. Part of this training is to familiarize soldiers with actual atomic detonations, showing them the damage such weapons can inflict, and teaching them the most effective methods of defense against atomic attack. There is no minimizing the potency of the nuclear weapon. But today's soldier, well informed and well trained in test blasts over the last few years, has a better chance of survival on the nuclear battlefield. Many of the methods employed by the Army in the training of its soldiers are equally applicable to the citizens of this nation in the event of atomic attack. Although the battleground of the future may well be a nuclear one and the nuclear weapon is perhaps the greatest challenge to the foot soldier in military history, the United States Army believes it is a challenge that can be met, and that today's soldier has a chance of surviving this new weapon just as the soldier of the past was able to survive the weapons of his day.

I love those old films. I suppose TPTB had to give a bit of hope to the grunts.

I'm old enough to remember the "duck and cover" films in elementary school. If you see the flash, get under your desk!

Sure.

Hey, do you guys believe these "new-clear" bomb things are real? I mean, name one other weapon that humanity just said "nah, let's not use that" to. Pretty weird that there were only two ever used, and those had pretty much the same effects as the firebombing campaigns of other Japanese cities, right? Oh, and people are living there now. It just seems awful convenient that there's a "worst possible horrific weapon" that guarantees the need for a permanent military-industrial complex. Sure, this is a "crazy conspiracy theory", and something makes the gieger counters click, but the whole thing is wrapped up in secrets....

I mean, if they can fake the moon landing, surely they could fake a few "nuclear tests"?
