How did cold war effect western society?

Societiesn those days, instead of fire drills for school children, we had "Duck and Cover Drills" in school for Atomic Bomb attacks. Up untcorners. And although you probably still don't know it...there are abandoned underground anti-aircraft missile silos near your schools and homes. You won't know it until they are pointed out to you; especially in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego Areas of California.
