He has my respect for just living through and surviving THAT.


IIRC he wasn't there during critical operations. For his ****-up at Kharkov he deserved to be executed. He used his power as a "Front military council member" (Party advisor) to insist on pushing forward even after it was obsious that it's a German trap...

Horsepucky. You speak (type) and understand american english better than some americans I know. Language dodge is not accepted. I prefer the 'Col. Klink' ruse, myself. ;)

So.. which do you admire more.. Stalin for his purges, or Kruschev for his reforms and stellar dipolmacy?
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.
