RE: Russian soldier found in afghanistan 30years after war
errr. cough, cough,....... the late 60s,.. I joined my Battalion in 1968 and this happened within the first two months of joining my unit,... a few interesting points about these guys, 1/ they spoke extremely quite,... they couldn't seem to raise their voice, they must have spent so long talking in hushed tones. 2/... their rifle was absolutely spotless, and with them having three rounds left, I often think back and wonder just how lucky we might have been,... and 3/, although there uniform was almost nothing, it was patched with pieces of skin in particular snake skin,.. bits like the unit badges and rank badges had been well looked after

They were clearly proud soldiers
A major part of survival is invisibility.
