Yes, me too, especially when I realized my parents were worried. We lived near a Strategic Air Command base and it was an obvious target. I read all the novels about it and began to secretly wish that it would happen. I was a strange kid.

Yea, I'm sure I probably had similar thoughts. Maybe not "wished" it would happen but perhaps developed a sort of "morbid curiosity" about it. It would be hard not to, given the absolutely massive Armageddon, apocalyptical power associated with the imagery. I think it was about that time that I read the Stephen King novel, The Stand, which while not directly about nuclear war, is a close approximation of the results. I remember associating that story with what it would be like to experience nuclear war....
