How many men died in the cold war?

The cold war itself was just that - a cold war. No men died. The two competing super powers, Soviet Union, and the United States, had nuclear weapons. Neither of them fought directly to avoid destroying the Earth. Instead they fought through proxy wars. Or wars were either side would support one side and then the reverse. These two proxy wars were the Vietnam war and the Korean War. 50,000 men died in the Vietnam War and 33,000 died in the Korean war.
