protecting the general public from radiation apparently is not part of the equation. However the politicians, and liberal socialist have forgotten one thing. When the taxpayers are gone they will have no one to tax, and no one to rule over, so you don't have to worry about getting nuked. We will have all chiefs and no indians then.
Here is what will probably happen. With all of us common people gone. Those with guns (the Military) will take control of those who don't have guns (Political Elites). And the Political Elites of the old world will become the Slave Class of the new world.
How ironic. That very thought brings a smile to my face.
