I tell people this, and the younger ones never believe me, but I genuinely believed that I would never live to be an adult.
I don't expect to live past my twenties. It isn't hard to believe that somebody on one side of a two sided prelude to a nuclear war could be nervous about their survival prospects.

Going by your username, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one simultaneously fascinated and deeply horrified by nuclear weapons! :-)
