With the leadership of Nato countries made mostly of post cold war cowardice and political correctness, time will tell either way.

Okay gals and guys, this thread is about the movies (and books) during the Cold War, however, you can visit the discussion here:http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...5&postcount=71.

Oh, and I can add, "Three Days of the Condor." With the best scene being the arrival of the package delivery guy who was not wearing black standard issue shoes." Wow.

Back in the day, as a teenage soldier I read lots of Cold War turning hot stuff plus anything I could find in non fiction on Infantry soldiering from WWII onwards (I seem to recall much the most popular, non porno, books amongest the British Army Toms were the novels of Sven Hassel set in the German forces of WWII, mainly on the Eastern Front).

I eventually came to the firm conclusion that WWIII would be nasty, brutish and short...
