Within the military-industrial complex and especially the intelligence community, the cold war was WWIII. Somewhere I have a poster that I "appropriated" from my employer in about '82. It's a picture of an incoming missile marked CCCP, with the legend "Does it contain American technology?" This poster was part of a program intended to promote attention to security, and was one of the more overt expressions of the pervasive underlying sentiment, especially among the long-timers, that we were at war with the Evil Empire.
