This is what passes for news, I guess. I imagine somewhere in Yahoo’s offices and editor was desperate for some sort of NorK-themed article to use for clickbait and this is what they came up with. Is there anyone here who really didnt know that washing off radioactive fallout is a good idea?
I very much question the utility of this article. Nonetheless, I offer a link to it for those who might see it differently than I.
I’d respectfully submit a nuclear strike on the U.S. is the least of our worries. In fact, a nuclear attack is probably the only thing that could (re)unite us as ‘Americans’.
This nation is a powder keg in search of a spark. All it will take is some ‘John Brown’ event or an economic crisis, and the long-knives will come out.
Remember Yugoslavia. Hutus & Tutsis. The English & Irish. This isn’t going to end well.
Indeed. I pray no spark is struck.
I do wish people would step back and take a deep breath. I don’t think that will happen, though. The people driving all of this want conflict, not resolution. I fear that the tipping point may have already been reached.
I suspect that you’re correct. For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I pray you are wrong.
I learned more from the caption under the picture above the article than I did from the article itself.
Seriously, though. Read that caption.
People are crazy. I have a shampoo that has 5 vitamins for hair health (it was cheap – I didn’t buy it for the vitamins). The only way those would help would be to drink the shampoo.
Don’t even want to go there with that picture & caption! 0_O
I have been involved in some NBC related stuff. Not an expert but I know more than the Average Joe. Correct decon procedures are disturbingly similar to “Rinse off with clean water.”
Our military decon kit consisted of: masking tape to define the “bad” area; one-size-fits-some gloves; a gauze pad; a bottle of water. We were ‘sposed to wet the gauze and wipe up the radioactive spill…
I suspect the best use of the kit would be to wipe your forehead with the gauze and drink the water.
Our NBC preps: tuck your pants cuff into your socks and duct tape the shirt sleeves at the wrists. Real effective.
