The Day After Part II

We meet the Dahlbergs, Airman McCoy, and Dr. Russell Oakes (Jason Robards). On a humerous side, you have to laugh at the size of the lenses on the glasses his
daughter is wearing.

I remember watching this back in the 7th grade and all we could think about the next day at school was man the world is eventually going to end because of a nuclear war. I no Republican but you have to give props to Regan for destroying the USSR, this was bound to happen if it weren't for him destroying American's policies to help the less fortunate and focusing on Russia. Then again, as a minority who was alive back in those days, maybe it wasn't so great of a move, lol.

@lamareaton Reagan didn't destroy the USSR; it was brought down by internal instability. Reagan's amicable relationship with Gorbachev possibly hastened it, but the Soviet Union collapsed from the inside.

9:00 See those toolboxes the maintenance crew are carrying? They each contain 2 pieces of scrap metal, wonderglue and a wrench. Old Walter, the day shift worker at the Water Processing Plant in Megaton will give you 10 caps for each piece of scrap metal you bring him. Pretty sweet deal...

@lotharthehomo Dude, how the hell did you know? I thought I buried that deep enough to never get caught! I suppose I should be proud of my service; I was, after all, the only 7-year-old they had ever seen that could shoulder an RPG *and* speak fluent Spanish.

@lamareaton its just to bad we are in the beginning of the next cold war with russia...King putin will be pres. for 8 yrs and PM for 4...again and again for life no doubt....scary thought! at least ronnie reagan gave us another 30 to 40 years before we are toasted;)

[McPuffins509]

@lothartheterrible i, no republican as well, also think reagan OUTSPENT the soviet union into ruin....internal instability often starts when a nation goes broke...just read the newspaper today:) but that was the ONLY thing ronnie did well.....

@tellerulam1 speaking of Teller-Ulam.......what type of warheads were the Soviets using in the early 80's? I heard Sakharov had an interesting twist on the classic T-U design.......
