Veterans - Soviets in Afghanistan - March 31 - Pt 1



Uploaded by: AlJazeeraEnglish
Video Description:
As part of its series on veterans from some of the world's most brutal and forgotten conflicts Al Jazeera travelled to Russia.
Despite being the Soviet Union's largest military operation since the second world war, the decade-long war in Afghanistan is regarded by many as a humiliation and the Soviet 'Vietnam'.
However many veterans are still physically and psychologically damaged by their time in Afghanistan and say they do not receive adequate support upon their return.

There were no Afghans in the 9/11 attacks and yet some idiots blame us Afghans for the mess that US had started in the late 70's early 80's. If the US and USSR would have not got involved I am sure the mess would have not been this worse. But again who admits that now....

You must be ... ( 2 weeks ago by Seneka4295)
You must be misinformed by american war propaganda to say such a silly thing. America has around 17000 soldiers in that country of 31000000 people.
Soviet generals estimated in the 80's that they would need 50 military divisions to pacify and stabilize Afghanistan and you really think that NATO will be able to do this with only 47000 soldiers ???!!!
The ISAF only has partial control over some regions of the country and things definitely won't change. The numbers just don't add up.

Typical misinformed dumbass. We should just let the Taliban back in, kill your people because they have to be clothed a certain way. Kill your kids because they want to go to school. Backwards country. Nothing more than a bunch of illeterates that will believe what some damn rag head tells them.

Aljazeera is nothing more than a Taliban sympathizer aiding terrorists. I hope they destroy your communications again.
Yeah, they also ... ( 1 week ago by ACTORnSCREENWRITER)
Yeah, they also killed my uncle. I have, and always will hate Communists. I don't hate Russians. Russians themelves have suffered the most under the brutal regime of the Soviet systems. 60-80 Million Russians were killed/tortured etc under Stalins iron fist
Russians understand, and no the difference between Communism, and Russian culture
Chinese on the other hand will call you a racist... They aren't as strong willed as Russians to resist thier tortures.
We mustn't blame Russians
