Could you please describe for us, the most interesting, incredible, dangerous, and world-changing mission you ever carried out in your life?

All ready have. Almost a full decade working for and with Charlie Wilson. A reminder. I was trained by US Marines - Basic and Survival. As all I qualified but was no wiz on the rifle range. Small arms of course.
Most I worked with carried weapon. Me NEVER not once. When they were caught with weapons they were shot on the spot.
In comparison to present day missions in Afghanistan...Looking back at it as I see TV stuff ....We were better off back then. Few and not all that good road side devices back then. Rare for a suicide bomber. But most of all back then the Taliban and Mujahedin were super friendly to us and ultra helpful. And in most cases I had a lot of protection so for the most part it was not all that dangerous but of course it was. I am 1/2 Russian n its not nice having Russians shooting at ya.
Don't get me wrong. Horrible loss of life all around me. And none of us were there to shoot at anyone. There to train as well as educate as well as to preform dirty tricks on the Russians and mostly there to get some mean angry other countries b not so mean at each other so as to supply all the modern weapons for the Pashtun - Mujahedin and Taliban's to use. Now was this world changing? It kept Russia from being at Pakistan's door. For a while it freed Afghanistan.
Looking at it now given a full decade of this new war that ain't going all that well - But I had nada to do with present anything re the current operation.
It was super interesting. Climbing in the Khyber Pass - Hiding video and audio and ground movement sensing stuff was very satisfying. Teaching the Afgans on how to maintain was terrific cause they caught on faster then expected. Super group of people.
