Thread: Today we walk torward the big nuclear cloud

I bet secdrl would have walked towards without second guessing.

The U.S. gov always uses U.S. troops as it pleases, not showing concern for well being of our soldiers is normal....IMO

No need to add the IMO. That's not opinion. That's fact.

the offspring of the 1%ers would make up the smallest demographic in the military. it's not their children or anybody they know personally that get sent out to die "protecting democracy".

The U.S. government is not alone in this.
Everyone globally has received radiation from above ground nuclear testing conducted by multiple 'nuclear powers'.
It was spread worldwide by wind currents, rainfall into the environment the soil, water, food chains across the globe.
Everyone has 'consumed' radiation as a result of this above ground nuclear testing.

The 1% have ingested radioactive fallout radiation from above ground nuclear testing.
It is in the environment.
Unless of course the 1% have found a way around eating food and drinking water.

Fallout from Nuclear Weapons Tests and Cancer Risks
Exposures 50 years ago still have health implications today that will continue into the future.

Steven Simon, Andr Bouville, Charles Land

Prior to 1950, only limited consideration was given to the health impacts of worldwide dispersion of radioactivity from nuclear testing.
But in the following decade, humanity began to significantly change the global radiation environment by testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere.
By the early 1960s, there was no place on Earth where the signature of atmospheric nuclear testing could not be found in soil, water and even polar ice.

In the U.S., it took a number of years for the differences in dose and cancer risk from regional and global fallout to be understood. We have learned that the internal doses from global fallout were considerably smaller for the thyroid, but greater for the red bone marrow, than those from Nevada fallout, whereas the doses from external irradiation were similar for Nevada and for global fallout.
We estimate that in the U.S. the primary cancer risks from past exposure to radioactive fallout are thyroid cancer and leukemia, whereas in a very few cases for example, the Marshall Islands large internal doses as a result of ingestion of radionuclides have led to significant risks of cancers in the stomach and colon. Our research has quantified the likely number of cancer cases to be expected in the U.S. from Nevada exposures and has contributed to the assessment of risk at other worldwide locations.
