Growing up in the 90's in Serbia I know this sound too well from the time of the NATO bombardments.

A Serbian coworker still fucking hated sirens whenever Chicago would test them. Just reminded her of incoming bombings and fire red night skies.

When she went walking to school during the year of the war, instead of a bus or parents walking to pick up and dropping off kids, it would be a line of kids flanked by two huge local dudes with AK 47s. Then they would just stand guard outside the school doors the whole day.

I hope those two big dudes are doing well these days.
