    few would volunteer for. It was sobering to see the young man that has already been killed on the alter of war in the Ukraine.

    I have once volunteered for a similar job in the Republic of Karelia in Russia, and my experiences with Russian searchers have been very positive. They have a lot of young volunteer searchers and they did very heavy and precise work. We Finns had a very smooth cooperation with them. The goal was and is common, i.e. to find as many soldiers left in the field as possible to be buried in the cemetery of each home country.

      Sadly today, your country has a leader as bad as us Americans. By becoming a member of the corrupt NATO alliance, Finland will lose everything they’d worked so hard to gain back from a new and quickly Christian growing Russia. Instead of peace, your country will be used by the corrupt US and peace will never again be for Finland. The hegemony of the US and England will destroy everything good about Finland.

    I am pretty clinical about historic archaeological digs and am usually facinated by what can be told by bones alone. These videos turn my facination to disgust and sorrow. Perhaps it is the relative closeness in time. More likely it is the undisguised waste of war that sickens me. Plague pits from London stir littlein me. But I cry for these boys and men so far from home whose family's only certain knowledge is that they didn't come home. That so many weren't able to be identified and returned to their families compounds the sorrow. The ultimate wound is the horrible, cyclical nature of war. That one year a bright young man may be digging for others to be returned home, the next that youthful energy is extinguished and he is being returned home (hopefully) as his literal comrades, distanced only by time, should have been. I find a fragment of hope for the future of these young people as they have learned what war truly looks like without having to endure the hardships (most of them anyway). This knowledge can never be taken from them. No bullets can kill these truths. No darkness can ever hide them. And no amount of beautiful words can ever sweeten them. My gratitude for the continued work you and all those who search for the lost do, so they may be returned home with the honor they have been denied for too long. My sympathies to you and your comrades, of all nationalities, for the many sacrifices you have made. And hope no more of your family will have to endure the failure of history to end war for all time.

В детстве я узнал от него, что Европа процветала, когда русские и немцы дружили, и Европа процветала, когда русские и немцы воевали друг против друга. Я тем более сожалею о сегодняшней позиции немецкого правительства. Пусть наши народы никогда больше не будут воевать друг против друга, и я приветствую русский народ из Берлина.
