They will find their US Grant/Rommel/Patton/Suvorov one day.

And the world will shudder in fear.

Interesting bit about this war I’d that neither Russia nor Ukraine plays up or even identifies the unit commanders.

This is the precise opposite of US propaganda/journalism going back to the US Civil War. Remember that American armies in the Civil War were accompanied by “embedded” reporters, and these people made Grant, McLellan, etc. household names. Similarly in 1898 (Dewey, Roosevelt), WWI, WWII, etc. Remember Schwarzkopfs daily briefings?

Even enemies were given celebrity. Rommel was a household name among the Allies.
But both sides here emphasize anonymity.

Sure, of course, you betcha, too laughable:

That just shows how well you understand Russians: anyone like that would be pounded down as encroaching on too many other people’s lunch. Which why Shoigu replaced Serdyukov, who actually wanted to improve and clean up the military by eating the corrupt ones’ lunch - so he was removed and replaced by a fake military officer who prides himself on surviving at all costs and wears cardboard commemorative badges as if they were military awards..
