I have a very active tumblr blog, and while I was scrolling, I came across this. Apparently, children had dog tags during this time period so that if a nuclear attack came around, then they would know who’s child lived and died. The culture of fear directly affected children, even though these children had no way of knowing that they were being labeled in case they all perished. It really goes to show you got afraid people were and how that cold war fear was subliminally passed down to their children.
