Of course people aren't entirely blameless but expecting that Russians living under tyranny from times immemorial will fight to safeguard gov that sent their fathers and sons to slaughter against force which promised peace would be naive. Even if bolsheviks promises sounded too good to be true.
I know this was to thump, but i think it's a great example to establish that we're having a communication problem, not necessarily a disagreement. Why would it not be reasonable to expect that? Not in our natures? Not in russians natures, specifically? It sounds, to me, like you're saying politicians set them up to fail in a predictable way, given some fact of human nature.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
