Atomic Cafe

If you've never seen it, worth the time. Atomic info and living in the atomic age. If you want to get to the cringe-worthy part go to the 50 min. mark where an officer is lecturing some guinea pig troops who are about to take part in a atomic bomb scenario . The commies are threatening Los Vegas and the commander is going to use an A-bomb and the troops are to rush in after the blast.

Whole video is really a chuckle and a shiver.
