Former Soviet Soldier in Afghanistan
Interesting to note that the Soviet Union continued to treat badly any soldiers who returned from being prisoners of war. This was a prime reason not to go home when he might have. He would have MASSIVE reentry shock if he did go back. Looks like he's got a nice family where he is.

Unbelievable (War Damage in Sarajevo.) If you ask me, and other who survived it can not be expressed in any amount of money!
I was there the first time three years after the end of the war, and I think even in pure monetary terms, the damage is underestimated. Of course no price can really be put on people's lives, the many who are injured forever, or many who'se hearts and minds are damaged forever by what they experienced.
