There never was a nuclear war, in which nations exchanged atomic weapons at each other. The closest man ever came to a nuclear war (an exchange of nuclear weapons) was during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, in which the US was really going to deploy atomic weapons upon the USSR...if they didn't back off with their deployment of nuclear weapons in Cuba. US forces (Air, Land, and Sea) were enroute to intercept Soviet forces with orders to stop them, if...they didn't abort their mission. The Soviets turned around and went home; the crisis was over. This was the only publicized "edge of nuclear war" man's ever experienced.
