No, that would be the Russian WINTER, an entirely different thing than the Russians themselves (no slouches themselves, to be sure). Nobody wins against the Russian winter, and all do well to remember that. Had not Hitler chosen to turn on Stalin, he might have remained in power. That was NOT a good choice...

And while the Brits bravely battled Hitler long before we entered the war, the war against the third Reich would not have been won if America had not joined the fight. The British Bulldog held the fort, but it was the Yank who entered Europe and defeated Hitler.

Do the Marines even have Abrams?

He counts his unit's kills meticulously, each one a tick in black pen on his khaki helmet which is, by now, bleached by the sun and battered from battle. Perched in the turret of his tank, just behind the barrel that is hand-painted with intimidating war cries such as "kill 'em all" or "I'm a motherf***ing warrior", he talks only to those Iraqis with the temerity to approach: he feels vulnerable without a 60-ton Abrams girding his loins. It is impossible to read anything in his eyes because they are always obscured by mirrored sunglasses.

"Russia has two generals on whom she may rely: General January and General February."
