:09:02
I don't know
what you know about Afghanistan.
:09:05
Most people don't even know where it is.
:09:08
But over two million civilians,
:09:10
mainly peasant families,
have been killed by Russian troops.
:09:17
Many newly developed weapons,
:09:22
including chemical warfare,
were used to wipe them out.
:09:25
With great success.
:09:29
I guess you don't know about
the current state of affairs.
:09:33
After nine years of fighting
:09:35
Afghanistan is getting Stinger missiles
to defend against the air strikes.
:09:40
Except for one region,
80 km behind the border.
:09:45
The Soviet commander there
seems to be really brutal,
:09:48
as the photos show.
:09:50
He prevents
any outside help getting in.
:09:54
And that's why we'd like to...
:09:58
check out the problem firsthand.
:10:01
And what have I got to do with it?
:10:05
I'm to go there.
- But you're not going to?
:10:08
Sure. With you, John.
:10:12
I put in my time.
- What does that mean?
:10:16
My war is over.
:10:29
But you said he was a great soldier.
:10:33
Alright!
:10:34
It's long way down those stairs.
:10:53
Don't hold it against him,
he's just obeying orders.
:10:57
It's an important mission.
