And they love to point out how many Soviets died during the war.

So many died because that was want Stalin wanted. They could have achieved the same results with much lower casualties. I mean 100,000 were killed just to take Berlin.

Yes indeed. They also failed at first because Stalin had purged the Army of qualified leaders and made the rest too scared to act.’’The Boss knows best’’ was the watch word. I remember I shut one dumb Russian up when he proudly boasted ''Our army suffered millions of causalities''. This assertion was meant to show this was the mark of a great army. I told him, The ability of an army to suffer mass causalities is not what makes an army great. ''The ability to inflict mass causalities is what makes an army great''.
