I'll agree to that.

I saw a "documentary" sometime in the 90s
that depicted nuclear attack drills for
50s school children, showing traumatized
screaming kids.

I lived in Aurora, Colorado from 55 to 59, in
the 2nd thru 5th grades. Aurora is a suburb
of Denver next to Lowry AFB.

Other that a couple of films, we never had
specific "nuclear attack" drills, just the
normal fire drills type things. No screaming
kids, no panic. I also don't remember any of
us kids being particularly worried about it.

Of course, back then, us third graders just assumed
that Mom and Dad would keep everything OK.

I do remember the advice to keep your gas tanks
more than half full, fallout shelter signs on
buildings etc.
