In this episode, our returning guest Rick Green walks us through the Georgian Civil War from the eyes of the first American on deck in an official capacity. Rick was a Specialist in the Russian Language and Culture. He was selected to be a U.N. Observer to keep the peace between Abkhazia and Georgia as the nation started to split. Rick was in the conflict zone in a small safehouse in Gali, a town ravaged by both forces multiple times. He details his daily battle rhythm and some of the scarier times he experienced in days past. Rick also compares what we see today, versus what we saw in the past.
