    Not to mention there’s got to be at least a handful of the people on pacific islands we screwed over with tests such as Castle Bravo left.

      Definitely. A bunch of indigenous Pacific Islanders were exposed, as was a boat full of Japanese fishermen. The latter event was the inspiration for Godzilla.

          One of the worst parts to me is that the U.S. had taken those islands in WWII and just decided, “these are ours forever now and we can do whatever the fuck we want with them,” which kind of sounds like the imperialism they were supposedly fighting.
