atomic veterans

like retired captain america?
sadly, it's not that exciting.

"Nuke-test veterans to get $24,000"
Ottawa offers payments to soldiers involved in Cold War arms trials and atomic accidents

at first i thought they were offering to pay a measly $25K to soldiers who had nuclear stuff tested on them... but it turns out they were just helping and cleaning up.

"We're finalizing the terms of a program to recognize the atomic veterans through a payment of $24,000 for exceptional service for each and every one of them."
