but at least they had some cool heads there that on more than one occasion avoided WWIII
It’s worth noting here that those cool heads existed mostly in the military, not in the leadership. Officers who received orders to fire, and then delayed because they suspected a mistake had been made. Had they followed their orders as written, we would have had a different outcome.
