What do older Generation Russions think of what the USA is doing?

Question

I know this is a touchy subject and I know this could be answered many times over. if it isn't allowed I will retract this question.

I'm wondering what older generation Russins that were in the military when Russia went against Iraq think of what the USA is doing. I know from History lessons that Russia was there for 10 years fighting. I'm not sure what country exactly they fought. I'd like to know if you are laughing at the USA which thinks they can change things there, or do you think they are just in their cause or fighting a loosing battle. I'm doing this to broden my knowledge of History and thought this is a great opportunity to hear from others that had been involved in kinda the same thing as the USA is going through now.
My thought was USA doesn't belong there.

Thank you for clarifying the country and I appologize for my not knowing the correct one as I stated.
Like I said our History classes are saying Russia was there for 10 years and couldn't defeat them and retreated. so our research question is 1) why do we think USA will win? 2) What was the difference between Russia then and USA now? This was the only way I could think of to find out what REALLY happened with Russia VS Afganistan. I appreciate any answers that can BETTER MY KNOWLEDGE!!

IGOR-- Read my details I did say I was not sure of what country involved but now that has been clarified! my first edit I DID MENTION Thanking someone for clarifying the correct Country.

Answer 1

Older Russian military I have known just think it's business as usual. They don't question their military leaders they just do their best to get the job done.
The scary part is many of these older Russians now living in this country (I have worked with a large number of them), say there were more personal freedoms and less government intrusion in a persons private life the old USSR than here today.

Answer 2

WRONG country my dear...you mean afghanistan

and so far in afghanistan they never really put up a good fight
it was even a WAY different war....with over 50% of it
being bombs/missle fired to far away for any terrorist to
hit back...we squashed them like a bug...

Answer 3

First of all, baby, learn history better. Russians've never been in Iraq. Afghanistan is the right answer.

Answer 4

the u.s.s.r. is no more, cause most of those little towns have there own government and fought for there own freedom.
most have fought to be free, cause the governemnt was getting richer and the poor were getting poorer, you can google the
fall of u.s.s.r. for more clarification.
good luck on your question.

Answer 5

It probably feels just like home to them.
