Pretty amazing. Glad we haven't tried anything as grand a scale as these tests. Thanks for the post SSgt Mark Lines. Semper FI

The federal government did not even give the Marshall people notice of their intentions. It just happened. They were not given any advice about avoiding the winds, the dust, etc. Cancer numbers increased, and the government did nothing.

It's all OK, Just don't get near any gravestones (Who Knew Gravestones were a Vacuum for Radioactive Isotopes) and don't eat anything with Potassium in it because it isn't Potassium anymore.
