Oh I'm not even talking even nuclear bombs. Regular ones are nasty enough. My grandmother lived through bombing raids on her home town in WW II when she was a small child. And personally I can't quite imagine something scarier than sitting in a cramped, dark, woefully insufficient "bomb shelter" with 40+ other people, listening to the explosions above you and waiting and wondering whether the next bomb is a direct hit on your shelter and reduces you to bloody chunks in an instance or "only" hits the building above the shelter and buries you alive under the rubble, leaving you to 1)suffocate 2)drown in water from burst water pipes 3)being cooked alive in scalding hot water from burst hot water pipes 4)being broiled alive by the heat and flames of the burning ruins above.
She told me about those things when I was probably way too young to hear them and since then I hate and fear warfare. And those things aren't horrors of the past either, look at pictures of Syrian cities right now.
