 Before I get into that, let me just say that the government counted very heavily on the people who lived in the area to be uneducated, unsophisticated, and unable to stick up for themselves, even after they came back and said that there might be radiation. I know there's a story in the literature that I've read many times about one of the ranchers who encountered some of these soldiers that came back to take a look at the radiation on his ranch.
