Are you saying we sacrifice bacon so Steve and Charles are immortal? Count me in! We have a small cadet branch of Pastafarians at my work, we worship the Mother Pizza. I will put in a word with her for eternal CM.

They mean a Soviet-Afghan wargame, not a modern one.

...What does that have to do with pervitin?

Some great shots taken by @George MC featuring the T-80:

Russia blaming Ukraine for provocation after invading Donbass and annexing Crimea is some Orwellian ****.

You can find all 5 stages of grief in this thread, and they repeat ad nauseum.

Yes, no other soldier displayed bravery like the German soldier, definitely not the Russian soldier who literally fought for the survival of his people. Who knew that if the Germans succeeded a genocidal campaign would be carried out to kill or enslave every single Russian in his country. I don't even know what to say about your comment on American soldiers, your sweeping generalization is just funny to me honestly. I'd imagine though that the ones who encountered the concentration camps or heard of them fought pretty damn well against the bastards who enabled it, that's good enough for me for that war.
German soldiers being war criminals is well documented in every service, so yes you can try to hand wave away a lot by saying "Not every German soldier!" but it doesn't do anything to the now well known fact that the Wehrmacht carried out the policies of the Nazi government and systematically murdered their way through Europe.  Also your right most did know they fought for an evil regime and they still kept fighting before they even knew they were going to lose! What does that tell you about those men?
 
 

Yup its a great example to bring up when someone tries to hit you with "ThE VicToRs WRitE hiStoRy".
I wasn't immune to it either, I also fell under the spell of the big cats and the valiant but hopeless fights in the east when I was a kid (hell when I was posting on this forum in like 2012). I'm glad I snapped out of it though and I have a much more balanced view of it all now.
