America's nuclear guinea pigs: Astonishing film that shows how Marines were used to test atomic weapons

They were the nuclear guinea pigs of the Cold War.

And this is the shocking film to show how U.S. Marines were used in hundreds of experiments by the US military to test the limits of nuclear bombs between 1951 and 1957.

During many of those tests, soldiers who thought of themselves as ‘ground grunts’ and were sworn to secrecy witnessed the atomic explosions first-hand, and from close range, before the devastating health risks of those bombs were fully understood.

I agree just looking at what depleted uranium did in ex-jugoslavia and i Iraq in the 90's. And i dont even wanna think whats been used now in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. We can only guess and everybody down there is a lab rat. Not to forget the entire area theyve used it in is toxic for like a 1000 years so they have destroyed their foodsources and water. CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!

I remember your posts and articles last summer on the subject where the video from the article were featured (great posts btw Vince). I felt like posting it to show when even mainstream reports on it so many years after, then its because the people are getting through making a lot of noise on the internet.

Its not atomic tests its genocide.! May the victims rest in peace and get justice one day.
