2 things came to my mind. First of all I wonder how many waiver and paperwork they had to fill, and at least the guy who is smoking after the blast, didnt have to worry about lung cancer anymore and can smoke with a total peace of mind lol

Back then everyone smoked, and there where no Surgeon General warnings!

my grandfather was among those pulled out of korea & shanghaied as a guinea pig on ship decks around enewetak during the ivy mike shot. (world's first hydrogen bomb). it was over twice the intended yield and consequently irradiated hundreds instantly with lethal levels of radiation.

he spent over a year at tripler army medical center. every hair on his body was burned off, much permanently. his teeth fell out, his hearing was diminished, his eyesight suffered, he was sterile for over 10 years & suffered from many various cancers the remainder of his life.

the VA covered it up and to date illegally has with held over 4 million usd in current and back payments. his situation requires all back pay to 100% active pay (starting 1952), along with payment of virtually all major medical issues he's had over his entire life, and rollover to his spouse. he was put on disability, 5%. which, even in 1952 was an illegally low level. adjusted to 10%.

they (the VA, US Army and ADAM) "lost" all of his records after congress passed law in 1990....





so no, i bet two shits and a giggle you wouldn't actually want to be there as a wittness.
