Thanks for the ping. Check out the film Atomic Cafe if you want to get a good idea about what the hell was going on back then.

Yep. There's a clip in that film of Rep. (later Senator and VP candidate) Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas) urging citizens to write Congress telling them to support the use of the nuclear bomb in Korea.

It was NOT something that made his "highlight reel" when he passed away.
