Okay, I give up. What world war of 1981 or 1980? There have only been two world wars. Are you talking about the attacks by the USSR on Afghanistan? That was not a world war. The Afghans fought a phenomenal war against the USSR (with the secret help of RPGs secured by the US). They won. The USSR military was falling apart and their military personnel were not being paid either. The entire country was falling apart and finally disbanded ten years later.
