Hmm Stanislav Petrov? He definitely deserves praise for not only keeping his head cool but knowing it would probably destroy him - as it happened, he was kicked out of the service - but would they launch a full retaliatory strike for five bogeys anyway? As I understand it, it's only launched on impact, i.e. confirmed nuclear attack.
I thought Rainer Rupp deserves both a commendation and a slap - he told the truth, that NATO was not preparing for an attack - but his comments that the Americans would like to lock him away forever instead of just imprison him for seven years is just ingrate pissiness considering that the Soviets executed his counterparts.
