This is coming from a US govt which still says nuclear wepaons are still
safe to use on foreign countries and were safe to test at Nevada...
spare me the b/s the US govt line is anything nuclear is cleanable just
dont mention it...eg dead military people and money costs.

Akin to the stupid policies of the US govt relating to nuclear issues eg
safe to use them overseas etc... HOW in the hell did they ever intend to
clean up their own HOT country after a mass nuclear strike??

Hey,
they've had a fairly long life. Most people probably wouldn't mind their
elders
being sent to clean up the cities.



You can't "clean up" a city after its taken a hit from a nuke. Rain washes the
radiation into the soil and the place stays glowing for years. No amount of
human effort, old folks or not, will speed the process and return an urban area
to a habitable area after such an event.

Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a
reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone.
