The main concern of the US during the cold war was preventing a nuclear war (aka atomic war). The only two major wars during the cold war were Korea & Vietnam; Korea was close to going nuclear which had a lot to do with GEN MacArthur's removal from command in Korea. During the Vietnam War, the commander in chief went out of his way to avoid Soviet/Red Chinese casualties at Haiphong Harbor or SAM installation missile sites, etc. as well as NOT invading North Vietnam. These actions (policies) were taken by the US President to AVOID a nuclear confrontation with those super-powers.
