    People suggest that the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the only victims of nuclear weapons, but they were merely the only victims during a hot war. There were many more during the cold war, from islanders who got hit by fallout from testing (plus a boat of Japanese fishermen, inspiring the Godzilla movies) to soldiers that the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. had walk onto the radioactive cloud after a test bomb went off.
