  1.  @diamonddave81  yes, but it has been 80 years since they have had that experience. Roughly the same length of time between The US Civil War and WWII. Culturally much has been lost in those intervening 80 years. For instance during the cold war the population of the USSR was a fairly stable 340 million. Now that they are simply Russia the have a population base of 140 million and it is declining. The oldsters who would identify with bearing any burden the state asks for are being replaced by a slightly more modernized population that has been allowed to quietly and non publicly ask the question "why." And every year there are fewer of the old guard left. And that "why" is going to turn to a shreik if Pooty does not satisfy them that massive casualties are worth it. Not that Vlad Pooty is going to be around much longer in any case.

  2.  @diamonddave81  cultures that will survive change over time. Comparative exposure to freedom has an effect.

  4.  @TheAmphicyon  Well, they learned a lesson from theirneffort in Afghanistan. The incessant drip drip drip of bodies coming home to gorky made the public hate the afghan war. So they learned a false lesson from that. They concluded it was the dead bodies instead if the lost lives that were the problem They endeavored to solve it by cremating the dead bodies in Syria and not admitting that they had lost anyone. "Ivan, who is this Ivan you refer to...." And since their casualties were low they thought they got away with it. But Ukraine is turning into a meat grinder for them and cremating was not efficient, especially when they fled and abandoned so many of the bodies of their comrades Can you imagine the uproar in russia if the Ukrainians start publishing the DNA of killed russian soldiers to identify them for the families in Russia who have received no news on their servicemember since February. Sort of a 23 and Me for Russian casualties. Then allow the russian families to claim the bodies to take them home? With 32,000 dead in three months its got to be a punch in the guy to russian society.

  6.  @unoriginalname4321  The Russians planned to cremate the few casualties they planned to have. it would give them deniability of loss. I think they are out of propane at this point....

  7. naw, the enlisted get vaporized int he mobile crematoriums near the front lines. That way they can have plausible deniability that there were casualties. In fact, the only way the families at home know if they have losses is if their commanders or comrades violate protocol and call home to tell the families that "Vanya" is dead. Think they might get in trouble for that.

  12. Yeah, I remember the 70s and 80s when the sovs spread disinformation about us. Read about the sovs providing seed money to both the Vietnam protests and the nuclear protests in the Mitrokhin Archive. Then they lost the race.....

  13.  @72marshflower15  How does one "Purge" Land. A very soviet word choice.....

  14.  @72marshflower15  just saying your use of the term is highly reminiscent of the guys i used to stand and stare at on the grenze. Very soviet. Much like the Ukrainians say everything is "shot down." I suspect that phraseology Is part of their culture. I suspect "purged" is part of yours.

  15.  @72marshflower15  doubtful.

  17.  Untold  actually, the fledgling American or colonial army by the end of the war proved to be the equal to the British army. Trained by von Steuben the ncos he trained were dispatched to the remainder of the army to pass along lessons learned. But even more important was the lessons learned by the British that were taught to them by the western fighters that had spent decades in small unit tactics and raids in the western portions of the colonies. The use of skirmishes, ambush, raids etc. You need to look no further than Saratoga, cowpens, kings mountain, etc. In fact the royal rifle regiment owes its existence to lessons learned by the brits while in the americas.

  18.  @72marshflower15  sure, if you hadn't used the word "purged" i would assume just an aging Sandalista, but the word choice is telling.....

  19.  @72marshflower15  uh huh...... I never see you at the group sessions....

  20.  @TheAmphicyon  SOmething to note is that people in Russia will find each other. Its a kinship of loss. As time goes on and casualties pile up it will happen. What can Vlad Pooty do, shoot the mothers when they wail in the streets? Very russian....

  21.  @allennguyen4456  Likely the Russians have not even been checking to see who they got left. And the guys who would be checking are likely vaporized as well. In the typical Soviet style the lead tank in the column is usually the company commander and when he gets cooked there is little command and control other than the first platoon leader who then moves to the front in the column and repeats the process. Very unlike the Western approach.....

  22.  @davidgutierrez3312  members of soviet units that were surrounded, surrendered by their commanders, and somehow survived the german POW camps were none rhe less dispatched to the gulags by the commies.
