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.
