Quote:This isn't politics.  It's history.   Most people would agree with me that if you want to judge the Soviet Union, 90% of it would be negative,and justifiably so.  But you have to give those people credit for the way they fought the Nazis.   The biggest battles of WWII were fought on Soviet soil, and most of the casualties were Soviet soldiers and citizens.  

Quote:Yeah. "Alright! You rookies run at the German line! When the man in front of you gets shot pick up his rifle and keep running! If you turn back you will be shot!"

 

Tough alright. Get shot in the front or get shot in the back.

 

Heck of way to win a war.

Quote:Yeah, kind of my point. The only thing they had better than the Germans was more meat for the grinder. So they just tossed man after man after man after man at them. Kinda like a zombie horde.

Quote:That's a bit oversimplified.
