Communism and the cold war.

Mostly was not fought with guns, bombers and lost lives.

The Cold War was fought with a couple of different weapons. The big two were proxy armies and the threat of the use of nuclear weapons. I say it was WW3. We're in World War 4 now.

"Communism and the cold war.

Around 100 million people were killed in many different ways fighting the cold war, most of them by their own government.

Vietnam was a "battle" in the Cold War. So was Korea. So was the Berlin Airlift. So was tracking Soviet subs sortieing out of the Kola Peninsula into the North Atlantic (think we never lost any S-2s or S-3s doing that?). Etc.

There were plenty of Cold War casualties.
