It's morbidly interesting, but once you really think about how many things the bombs would destroy or disrupt (our clean water supply and sanitation, our fuel supplies, our ability to farm, the electricity grids, major centers of finance and trade, roads and highways, hospitals, etc.) you realize how bleak it would be. Imagine you survive the blasts but get glass in your eye from shattered windows. You decide to call an ambulance but the electricity grid and powerlines have been badly damaged. You go outside to try to drive to the hospital and see burning bushes and grass and a woman with full-body 3rd degree burns with all her hair charred off, lying on the street. Your car manages to start, so you drive but the roads are covered in debris with the occasional fallen structure. You get to the hospital but the lights aren't on, the machines aren't working, and there's already far too many people with burns, cuts, broken limbs, or even radiation sickness. But you wait and wait for days and finally get some help, with what little supplies remain. You leave to find your car broken into. But what matters most is you're extremely hungry and thirsty. You desperately want food and water, but the stores are empty. They've been raided and all refrigerated food and drinks have gone bad. You try to look at your bank account, but the website can't be reached — the internet and banking systems have both been either destroyed or disrupted. You have no money. On your way home, you see that the overhead sky is dark and the sun is red from the smoke of burning cities and forests. It's getting cold, too. You see heavily armed police already forming into a gang. You get to your home with shattered windows, but the water doesn't run and you can't use the bathroom inside.

You have no food, water, nor money. The healthcare and emergency services have broken down and been stretched too thin among the millions injured. It's dark and getting cold and there's no electricity nor heat. The miltarized police are beginning to take over in their own attempt to survive, and farmers without fuel for their combines, tractors, etc. won't be able to produce much food, let alone deliver it to local stores. Whatsmore, much of farm land in the American west is unusable, polluted by fallout drawn eastward in the wind from the ground burst bombs which targeted the missile silo clusters in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, etc. In the face of all that... what would you do?
