Keith Kiefer from the National Association of Atomic Veterans joins Dr. Todd Arrington to discuss Atomic Veterans. Atomic Veterans are American soldiers and sailors who were exposed to atmospheric and underwater nuclear weapons tests from 1945 until 1962. For over 50 years, the experiences of these soldiers were only known by the soldiers and those in charge, as the soldiers were required to take an oath of secrecy. Breaking that oath was considered treason. This oath was relieved in 1994 by the Clinton administration, which has allowed for the stories of these special veterans to be finally told.
