But there won't be combat, right? If there were, it would not be a Cold War.

The Korean War and the Vietnam War both took place during the Cold War... ;)

A Cold War just means there isn't open hostilities.  Doesn't mean there aren't battles that no one hears about.

Not to hijack the thread, but the Cold War was fought between the USA and the Soviet Union. There was no armed conflict between these two nations.

Oh, I think I will open up the Wikipedia to confirm myself.

There was conflict by proxy.  Examine the Korean War closely.

I believe the Vietnam "police action" also fits into that category as well.
