Going under the table during a nuclear blast can actually help; if your building isn't demolished but the windows still blow out, being under a table can help protect you from debris.
@witeshade4 жыл бұрын
Yeah. If you're too close to the bomb it doesn't matter anyway, you're gonna get annihilated or burned to death no matter where you are. But getting under something probably significantly increases your chance of survival once you get outside of the immediate demolition area. Not only could it keep you safe from flying debris, glass, and so on, it could also help deflect some of the force of the shock wave and potentially save your organs. And, perhaps most importantly, it could shield you from getting roasted by the actual flash of the explosion. Sure you might be surrounded by burning things and still be in significant danger, but if you managed to keep your skin intact then you've got a much better hope of getting out. So yeah, if you're too close to the bomb, getting under the table isn't gonna stop the entire building collapsing onto you, but if you're in that intermediate zone it can significantly improve your chances, and even if you're far away, you could avoid getting sliced up by flying glass when all the windows blow out.

Didn't get many hours of sleep ever since we had like 2/3rds of our men on guard duty around the clock, and on top of that the truck drivers required more sleep uninterrupted so they didn't guard much either

The "MREs" distributed to refugees are not necessarily identical to the ones meant for the military, though. An MRE is just a "meal ready to eat". The term was first used by the US military for their field rations, but these days lots of private companies make and sell MREs. Specifically, the meals distributed the the US army during humanitarian crises are known as "HDRs" (humanitarian daily rations), and are quite different from MREs (they're cheaper, less nutritious, with no chemical heaters, and are designed to survive being air-dropped without a parachute).

ROTFLMAO... "I'll just light this flameless ration heater to let the enemy know *exactly* where I am." - I know you didn't say it but I couldn't help think it after they went through all the work of giving you two options on how to heat your food. Thanks, Clive, that really put a smile on my face while I suffer through more insomnia and back pain.

"too much dark & stormy"? What is this absurdity you speak of? FWIW, snuffing out flames doesn't work too well when your fuel source is also emitting oxygen in ideal proportions. Unfortunately, no full-scale Hindenburg recreation. Ukraine might differ with you a bit on Russian territorial ambitions.
