Jerry Boyd

Jerry Boyd was a United States Air Force lieutenant who coordinated missile launches for one of the U.S.'s major missile bases. At the outbreak of Great World War III, Jerry and another missile launch coordinator were in the process of launching the missiles when their phone rang and Jerry answered it. The caller was Yuri, who held a mind-control device to his phone to transmit the signal to Jerry's phone. Jerry was mind-controlled just before he completed the last step to the missile counterattack that would devastate the Soviet Union: opening the silo doors. The other soldier in the room tried to reason with Jerry, but Jerry silenced him by aiming his pistol at him.

Jerry and the other soldier were killed when the launching missiles hit the closed silo doors and exploded, destroyed the base.
