Happened to come across a fascinating documentary about Chechnya on one of
those weird free channels (me no cable) like Channel 77--actually WNYE-TV.
Anyway, the doc followed the travails of avg. soldiers, most of whom are
drunks, trying to get away from family or criminal charges, etc. fighting,
horsing around, killing dogs, firing mortars at each other, drunk and bored,
complaining, caring for wounded, shooting up a street so the news people
would have footage for the folks at home, etc. The word absurd was used many
times. An intersting look at the modern wars being fought nowadays.
