On Earth - my Earth, anyway, though I'm sure it's true on other ones too - today is celebrated as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in much of Europe and North America. It marks the day World War One ended, and in remembrance of those who've served in the armed forces, particularly those who died on the battlefield in sacrifice of a cause.
I've been a soldier most of my life - at times an unconventional one, but it doesn't make the battles any less real. I've seen a lot of people die fighting.
And here we are, today, conscripts in the middle of another war. So take a moment and remember those you may have lost at home - people close to you, or people you never knew who were fighting for you all the same. And think about why you fight here. Or why you don't fight, if that's the case. Both are choices not to be made lightly.

That one might be in the same category as the rest from my point of view. I don't think I've heard of the Soviets going into that country.

Time travel makes for some interesting conversations. Mid-1980s, there was an American-backed uprising against the Soviet Russian regime in charge of the country.

Not really, particularly in the decades after World War II. There were never any outright Russian/American hostilities but... well, they called it 'the Cold War' for a reason.
[voice] I sure hope I got my history right.
[Because Britain had gotten into a few altercations in Afghanistan in the past due to it's proximity to India. Surely, he thinks, if the Soviets had drawn so close to British territory, his country would have gotten involved as well.]
[voice] I do this off of wiki you're cool
Call it 'idealogical disagreements'.
