Yep, when Europe was the focus of warfare planning and not the Middle East or the Pacific.

That gave me flashbacks....

IIRC, I was in ROTC at the time. We were all sure we'd be fighting World War 3 sometime during our careers...

Same here Paul. I thought the same thing watching the video. I also thought the same thing while my unit was deployed to Operation Desert Storm. In fact, we were all saying "hey, aren't we supposed to be fighting the Soviets, like in the commercials?"

Here's another "Blast From The Past" for you. I saw a movie playing on the Grit Channel at my favorite truck stop. It was titled "The Beast" and chronicled the battle between a Russian tank crew and a group of Muj Fighters during the Russo-Afghan war. I believe the tank was a clone of a T-64 (it had a fume extractor on the barrel and was manually loaded). The movie was worth watching if you can find it again.
