​Singing. Hundreds of enthusiastic tribes men singing and dancing to welcome our field team. Many were crippled and maimed from the war. Women who had lost legs to Soviet landmines, or whose children had been taken away — abducted — by Cuban troops and sent for military training and Marxist indoctrination in Cuba. Men whose villages had been machine-gunned and bombed (often with napalm or chemical warfare) by Soviet Migs.

​Over 50 000 young Angolan children have been forcibly taken from their parents and sent to Cuba by ship or aircraft. The Cubans choose the youngsters personally and prefer to take the 7-year-olds, who are then trained for 10 years in Cuba to be Marxist- Leninist fanatics and obedient mercenaries for the Soviets. Their families never see them again.
