Land-mines were very effectively employed to make much of the countryside uninhabitable; also to make tens of thousands of people cripples. In a display of really macabre ingenuity, the Soviets took to scattering brightly-colored plastic toys, which exploded when picked up by children."

Course, we know ONLY the USG does that. Right...
