Did you live in constant fear of being nuked? Or was it more chill most of the time?

    We often joke now about how the “foreign enemy” in every action movie in the 80s was Russian. Then, in the 90s, it wasn’t cool to pick on Russians anymore, and they switched to “Chechin” and “Bosnian” militants. Then, after 9/11, all Arab terrorists. Now, we’re getting back to Russians again.

    I wouldn’t say constant fear. We did duck and cover drills alot in school. That’s about it.
