Absolutely. But (speaking in very broad terms here), the potential conflicts which would involve NATO in Europe today are dwarfed by the requirements for the Western Pacific conflicts. This may not have been the case in, say, 1985, but it is now.
Read Tom Clancy's 1980s novel Red Storm Rising, which seemed pretty realistic to me. (Former U.S. Navy carrier officer here.)
Boomers were also the force of last resort in MAD.
