Yes, your description is more accurate than my embellishment but I personally never believed that "everything would be okay".Originally Posted by GGT
We were taught to hide under our school desks before the nuclear flash came, that hiding in the school's gym would keep us safe, and the cafeteria was well-stocked with food. If we just took the sirens seriously and practiced the drills, everything would be okay.
It's eerily similar to the "active shooter" drills that today's students are forced to deal with. That kind of fear and anxiety about *potential* harm is bound to fuck up any mind; imagine what these Children of War are actually going through. It's horrible and beyond shameful.
