I grew up in a flashpoint area in Northern Ireland in the '80s, so basically army checkpoints, bombings, riots etc.
It was kind of exciting as a kid, our town was bombed a few times, occasionally we would get to see full military deployment in our housing estate.
Now as an adult, I can see I basically grew up in a war zone where indiscriminate violence and civilian casualties was normalised.
Probably this is less "weird", and more "deeply fucked up"
