Yes, he's stil alive and very humble about it too.
I also thought the russians were going to be the cause of WWIII during the Cuban missile crisis. I was in the Navy at the time as a radarman at the time right before I went to subs. The OOD woke everyone up on the ship I was on and had us man the rail in San Diego harbor due to a small boat coming too close to the docked ship.
Then again in November 1963 President Kenendy was killed while I was on patrol on a diesel boat 10 miles off of Kamchata, Russia. We were low on fuel and pulled into Adak, Alaska for fuel.
The NAS Adak wouldn't even let us depart the boat all we could do is get fuel (not that there was anything to do on that barren island anyway).
We thought we were going to war then for sure.
Fear in the greek language means "respect"
I respect our enemy and how I hope they fear us too
