Atomic Veterans Were Silenced for 50 Years. Now, They're Talking.

I interviewed an Atomic Veteran a few years ago and published one of his stories on my website (and shared the link here on RP). He had two stories because he had witnessed two nuclear tests, one in Nevada like the men in this video speak of and another in the Pacific when he witnessed an H-Bomb test. I hesitate to write about the H-Bomb test because the abuse of the military service members in that case was even more egregious than the A-Bomb tests in Nevada. I have pondered long and hard to understand how our "superiors" could have used these men this callously (I have never heard of women being placed in this type of situation)
