I just watched “We were Soldiers” last night. Women CANNOT operate at this level of physicality. Men hardly can, without great effort.
LBJ told Rusk, "Ask him about the cemetaries, Dean!"

Well, couple of thing to say about that..... the Russians ertainly weren’t shy about sacrificing me. - and women - to achieve their objectives. Due to the Germans beastly conduct it was total war for them. But they did tie down sixty - seventy German divisions without which Normandy or even Italy would not have been possible or successful..... even taking Berlin cost the Russians over one hundred thousand casualties..... we could talk. About this for hours it im on my phone.... something like 20 million Soviet dead in the war.... I later worked with a German man in the 1980s... his father was taken as a POW by the Russians in the war and he didn’t come home till the 1950s.... and he was one of the lucky ones....

About as outstanding a war movie as it gets.
Hal Moore a true American hero. All those guys were.....
Very true, I have read some of Max Hastings books and the one on the Eastern Front was brutal to read and what Stalin did to make his men attack was the m most unreal think I ever read, you had no choice attack going froward or die from behind if you turned back. The Brutality of what happened on the Eastern Front has no comparison to the Western one, and yet it is the forgotten part of the war.
And it is really true that Stalin requested of Roosevelt and Churchill that the top 50K Wehrmacht officers captured by taken And summarily shot. Whether he meant that as a joke or not is open to interpretation.....
Care to explain?
I think Stalin meant it when he said it.
I just finished reading Admiral William Standley’s autobiography , He was Ambassador to Russia during from 1942 to 1944 and dealt quite a bit with Stalin and Molotov. He said it was frustrating to deal with them and Standley was nobody’s fool. He was a former CNO of the Navy.
It is just something posted on Telegram; take it for what it is worth.

President Reagan was right about “one generation away”.
