Yeah, that's my feeling too. I remember when almost EVERY post WWII book of science fiction set on a near future Earth had nuclear Armageddon as its theme. I never expected to live past fifty because of that likelihood.
DON’T TELL US WHAT WE’RE GOING TO FEEL. WE’RE TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM. YOU HAVE A NICE OCEAN AND DON’T FEEL THE WAR NOW. BUT YOU WILL FEEL IT IN THE FUTURE.
