I don’t this is the right way either. Maybe something in between the two extremes would best.

once Russia is done with europe, they are going to roll over Obama’s transvestite army and take possession of the United States.

I’m going to defect, I want to end up on the winning side...

This is from a few years ago - Russian 9th and 10th grade students compete on field stripping and reassembling an AK-74.

I’d rather teach young people to be capable fighters than to be a bunch of sissy ass bitches and trigglypuffs.

Imagine if America has to face another WWII situation with a draft.

We would be utterly incapable of anything.

The AK comes with a cleaning toolkit in the buttstock that combines with the cleaning rod mounted under the barrel.

Keep in mind that Russia traditionally drafts both sexes and has no problem putting women into frontline combat. The girls in the video I linked above aren’t practicing that just for brownie points.

Soviets tried to put women in frontline combat during WWII, it didn’t last.

They worked out well enough as snipers and tank drivers. And fighter pilots.

On the other hand, Russian women often do tend towards the burly end of the spectrum...

Frankly I think both sexes are being taught useful skills considering the nature of humans beings.

Russians are some tough SOBs, and I gotta respect that.

We aren’t really teaching either sex anything useful in America in terms of how to stay alive and how to keep your country alive.

We seem to be making a nation of absolute imbeciles and wimps.
