What's the historical significance of the nuclear bomb in

The biggest change was the change in the attitude towards war.

All wars prior to the atom bomb were absolute wars fought to the fullest of our nation's ability with liberty the stakes. After the atom bomb, all of our wars have basically been elaborate LARPing events where we pretended to fight but didn't really fight. For the first time in human history, a culture fought wars in which it voluntarily held back its best weapons, preferring to send its people to die rather than drop the bombs that could end a war on day one.

This lead to the first majority supported anti-war movement, the end of the draft, and the general contempt for or disinterest in military service that persists to this day.

If you're an American, this is absolutely not true. even most Democrats will try to play up their respect for our soldiers, "thank you for your service", and so on.

Lol what nonsense. The US military has always been a bunch of gangsters serving Wall St and the robber-baron elite.
