A very close friend of mine, is an elderly fellow who served in the USAAF and the USAF and flew bombers in WWII.

In Los Alamos NM in 1945 he was ordered to handle and transport nuclear materials.

For this purpose, he was issued white cotton gloves and nothing more.

The fine vet suffers badly from that experience to this day, and is in much pain. The government never issued an apology, nor any form of recompense.
He is understandably bitter, as he lives with the consequences of that TDY to this day.
