When it really happens: SHTF...

[Ovidio]

Guys, the most vivid memory I have of NBC training during Officer’s School is when my instructor asked me why I looked so annoyed. I told him that I understood the need for that training and, as long as I would be wearing a uniform, I’d be doing my duty. But if anybody started a nuclear or biological war after my time in the military, I’d just prefer to go out walking on a field, in the mountains, anywhere, and just die. Now I have a family and can’t do it anymore, but I still think that would be the best thing. If humankind is so horrendously stupid, then I don’t think I really need to take part any longer.
So, in the end, I will do what I have to for my kids, but in case of a real human responsibility, I’m a bit in a troublesome situation. Seriously...
Just for the kids... And because I can’t decide for them.
I will wash hands, take precautions, not go in crowded places, but I won’t go to extremes. Somehow I just don’t seem to like the idea of being there in a Mad Max world. If the family will be there, yes. Absolutely. If not, well... bye bye, cruel world.
So I am taking it seriously, but not making it too extreme.
Maybe I’ll get lots of backfire, but these are my deepest feelings...
