Exploring the impact of military service in the Yugoslav People's Army, Tanja Petrovi reveals how young men formed deep bonds across diverse backgrounds, which endured despite the violent conflicts of the 1990s. Through personal memories and material artifacts, she examines how the JNA fostered a unique sense of collectivity and solidarity, challenging the divisive post-Yugoslav landscape. Petrovi highlights the significance of ritualized practices in shaping relationships and promoting ideals of equality and comradeship, without romanticizing the military experience.
