No, no one "fought" in the Cuban missile crisis. He was an Assistant Secretary of State at the time.
No missiles were used in the Cuban missile crisis. No one fired a one. It was caused by the fact that the Soviet Union had missiles in Cuba aimed toward the United States that caused the crisis.
The Cuban Missile Crisis almost caused a nuclear war, but fortunately neither the US nor the USSR actually wanted to fight one.

One of the great mistakes of US history
The Cuban Missile Crisis of October, 1962, was the closest we've been to a nuclear exchange. See the link below for more detailed information.

One outcome that was not a direct result of the Cuban Missile Crisis was the immediate withdrawal of U.S. military presence from Europe. While the crisis heightened tensions and led to changes in military strategy, it did not prompt the U.S. to decrease its military commitments in NATO or its European bases. Instead, the crisis ultimately reinforced the U.S. military posture in Europe as a counter to Soviet influence.
No one would be able to ask this question, or systems such as this wouldn't exist to ask the question.

Because the world came extremely close to nuclear war, during the Cuban missile crisis, it made people very nervous, and prolonged the distrust and hostility between the US and the USSR, which really ended only in 1989, with the collapse of the USSR.
There were no missiles fired from anywhere during the Cuban Missile Crisis. There was at minimum one missile shot shot during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Deputy of the Soviet Union Commander Gen. Issa Pliyev ordered a U-2 spy plane be shot at. The Deputy was Gen. Stepan Grechko. The missile was fired and the U-2 spy plane was shot down.
