The Nuclear Playground

 
05SEP12
A Child Is Crying and Atomic Attack made me curious about the movie I had missed, Original Child Bomb, so I did a search on Youtube and found this:



After watching this clip and thinking about the material we covered in class I had an epiphany: the individuals that are responsible for making wars and developing these weapons are like small children and the world is their play ground. These people, “War Mongers,” develop a weapon (toy) and they look for an excuse to play with their toy (deploy the new weapon) anywhere they can on their playground. As with a child, the War Mongers have no regard for the consequences of their actions. It is almost as if at the War College, Field Grade Officers that “advise” the President and Congress only learn to take into account the short-term results without considering the long-term effects.
