*edited to add: mainland American soil - idjit I am, I did not count Pearl Harbor as US casualties. Our nation is one of the most secure on the planet, we're naturally buttressed by 2 massive oceans and bordered by friendly nations, and our military might is unquestionably one of the strongest there is. Compare that to any country in the Middle East, or a third-world African nation, or the Pacific drug-trade countries.

Take a nation as young (relatively speaking) as the United States in over 330 years of existence, the US has fought in at least 6 major wars, countless other skirmishes and 'police actions', and any number of top-secret conflicts 99.99999% of us have no idea about. On the other hand, the concept of war itself has been around for so long - about as long as civilizations have existed - that the more recent fears of nuclear war seem like a drop in the ocean by comparison. Today, the fear is still there, but it isn't the same overwhelming fear that weighed on minds the world over as the USSR and USA stared each other down year after year.

Strangelove - originates from the mid-50s and early-60s and was still on many peoples' minds in the 1980s. Even the original concept of World War III - the nuclear annihilation scenario that played out in Dr.
