A soldier who witnessed the war told horrifying storries about negligence in the Russian forces at that time. His troops had to take a civilian train at their own expenses and get through the Urkanian border making a deal with customs officers to go to the gathering point with their ak's and ammo. They were met by outrageously drunk commanders who didn't expect them to come and were disinterested in their fate. Their platoon had to find ways to get to to the battlefield on their own. The war was actually lost. Our regular forces were repelled by Chechen rebels. A pro-Russian leader was set and Chechnya that has been receiving over a billion dollars annually to maintain peace. The same worked with the Crimea, Sirya, Georgia. Now we're in the middle of something new. God help us all
