Exploring the bonds formed during compulsory military service in the Yugoslav People's Army, Tanja Petrovi highlights how these connections transcended ethnic and social divides, even amidst the violence of the 1990s. Through personal memories and artifacts from JNA conscripts, she reveals how the structured environment fostered relationships and ideals of collectivity, solidarity, and egalitarianism. While not romanticizing the JNA, Petrovi emphasizes its role in shaping interpersonal connections that challenge the post-Yugoslav narrative of division.
