Happy 66th Birthday to the Atom Bomb, everybody! Woo hoo!
Of course, this video below is merely an atomic cannon shell fired in the 1950s, but it's a good clip, anyway, communicates the power and devastation nukes represent...
Especially since there have been some moves to bring tactical nukes back into the vogue as possible usable weapons, scarily enough.
Anyway, there you go. We've got something like 10-12,000 nuclear warheads in the US, and nuclear weapons are slowly proliferating to other nations. Even though in the face of changing political realities in this century, that hulking shadow from last century is still very much with us.
