Current generations have no concept of what it was like to live during the Cold War, when fear of nuclear annihilation kept people in a constant state of fear.
We read all about nuclear winter, radiation sickness, cancers and warhead counts. We knew that this war would be the end of life on earth, and that we would have seven minutes to say goodbye to all that we loved. We were also aware of the possibility of it being triggered by error or bad politics.
