ehh,  mostly training bases,  not that important in a nuclear war,  are you within 5 miles of them?  

Not sure why everyone loves to explain how where they live is such a big deal.  I work on an air force base and I doubt I'd know there was a nuclear war going on until I looked at my phone and checked the news.

If my city gets nuked, I'm dead.

If I'm not dead after a nuclear exchange I'll probably be dead soon after.  A complete breakdown of society with no hope of aid or rescue coming does not seem very promising.

Nope.

Nuclear treaties have reduced the number of warheads for both the US and Russia.  Each nation has enough to deter a first strike and knock out the nuclear weapons of the other, but not enough to target non nuclear military targets or civilian centers.

I can believe people still believe 1980s era hysteria, but dang if these threads aren’t common.

Same here, and kinda same outlook. We can't let it happen for the future - children don't deserve it. For God's sake, the animals don't deserve it. But God forbid if it happened, I think it would be lights out pretty quick, regardless of the apocalypse fantasies GD loves to entertain.

I'm 13 miles from a city of 2400 people (a good portion of them sex offenders and meth heads).  Two miles out of town is a major bi-monthly dog days flea market.  I probably won't even see the flash much less feel the blast.
