How in the hell did people think Duck and Cover would work

Because back then we trusted what the government told us

It's called hope.

What else were they gonna do?

We also were taught and believed that if north Vietnam took over south Vietnam that communism would spread worldwide, and saw film clips that showed communism spreading.

OP






You want em to die without hope? Get on the bus

I played with my first boobie with that drill circa 1968. Still see her today and she looks every bit as good as then.

It’s sad how many people are ignorant of the fact one of the stated goals of communist was and still is the global implementation of communism.

Yeah, sorta like tornado drill in school hallways....face down, arms/hands covering the head, legs tucked in.

Kinda leaves the spine hanging out there. Prominently.

Well you want the blast wave to go over your head, and the desk to protect you from the collapsing school.
