This paper examines differential attitudes toward the use in war of nuclear weapons among age strata, analyzed from the perspective of three political generations: "Dissent" (those born 1943-1949), "Cold War" (those born 1927-1942), and "World War II" (those born before 1927). The generation of "Dissent" was found to be least warlike in terms of rejection/acceptance of nuclear war, the generation of "World War II" the most warlike, and the "Cold War" generation intermediate between these two.
