South Osetia under attack

Boroda, if you lived at the North Pole, you could be sold a freezer.

Actually a Freezer is a good thing to have at the North Pole, it guarantees that the food is kept in a constant state. Relying on the elements can work but the freezer is much more dependable.

well it is obvious that the great Georgian army has been subverted by the decadent americans and their stupid democracy, but as soon as georgia becomes once again part of the new soviet empire they will once again become great patriotic heroes of the mother russia.

Anyone know if the supplies we sent have made it to the Hospitals?

Meanwhile, UNHCR continues to call for free and unhindered humanitarian access and safe passage for uprooted civilians and the aid workers trying to help them. That need was underscored Thursday morning when two UNHCR vehicles were hijacked at gunpoint on the outskirts of Gori.

The UNHCR team was on an assessment mission in the Gori region to identify areas of displacement and to assess the immediate needs of people forced from their homes by the conflict which erupted last Friday.

The team was stopped just outside Gori, where people in unmarked uniforms threatened the two UNHCR staff members and forced them at gunpoint to leave their vehicles and hand over the keys. The two later made it safely back to Tbilisi. Later, authorities called from Gori to say they had recovered the vehicles.

I don't think they deserve to be fed by Russians for another 200 years. First of all they need to learn how to work again. So far all of those who still remember how to perform this dangerous task move to Moscow and drive rusty Ladas we call "jihad-taxs".

We don't try as hard as you did in Vietnam or still "try" in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am awfully sorry.

Looks like people you or your friends train in Georgia again have met a superior force like back in 1972.

That is some statement considering the Commies got chased out of A-stan with their tails between their legs by citizen fighters.

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

We didn't lose any battles in Vietnam. We simply left.

And you got your tulips handed to you in Afghanistan, plain and simple.

Then we went it in 2001 and assisted the Northern Alliance in sweeping the country quickly. The Taliban is still mostly in hiding, and for the most part takes a whipping when they do show up.

[SD67]

Oh please, Vietnam was a joke. You pulled out because you were getting whipped.
You bit off more than you could chew and took everyone else who was in it down with you.

[DREDIOCK]

We shoulda listened to Patton

Not even close to being accurate.

We pulled out because of a loss of public support

Militarily we had the North on the ropes.

I suggest you try rereading your history

Citizen!?

You must be out of your mind.

USSR had Afghanistan under control, only a traitor like Gorby ordered withdrawal to bring the same war inside our borders.

  MAN OH MAN.  the truth is you were being anihilliated by goat herders with weaponry left over by suleyman the magnificent.

LOL!!!

You lost 5 times more people in 5 years of involvement there then we did in 10 years in Afghan, lost thousands of ACs, employed millions of people there, CV groups and all things and got wiped out of there by underfed peasants. Underfed peasants who just 4 years after they wiped out collaborators won a war with China (!!!) and kicked Pol Pot out of Cambodia, another big friend of yours. And now live a nice and peacefull life without being milked my "liberators".

Compare it to Afghanistan, that was completely destroyed by your anoter puppet, Taliban, in the same 4 years after we have left. And then you still can't do anything there, Northern Allieance got weapons, ammo and advisors from Russia and even with such an assistance you still fail to control Kaboul and Bagram, while we controlled the whole country with less troops then you have there now.

You simply can't be brainwashed, I see it now Nothing to wash

Looks like the Russians are trying to bait the Georgians into fighting some more so they can pull another Grozny.

[Elfie]

kicked Pol Pot out of Cambodia, another big friend of yours.

That ranks right up there with your denial of the Katyn Forest massacres. Pol Pot was a Communist, Pol Pot was in charge during the Cold War, during the Cold War the USA fought against communists at every turn, we had no communist friends.

LOL! Did we now? Since your an Aussie... explain this:

'I think you are honoured that I am in the army. It's not everyone my age who gets to fight in a war. I don't have any regrets about being called up and I'm even enjoying myself over here. I'm glad I came here now because now that I've been here I think 2 years National Service is a waste if you don't do time in Vietnam. The people who don't come over here don't get anything out of their two years.'

Bruce Wilson, Royal Australian Army Service Corps (national serviceman), October 1969, letter to father

'The battalion marched through Sydney ... enthusiastically cheered by the crowd and showered with confetti. ... The march through the city was an important ceremony for many soldiers, particularly those being discharged from the Army soon afterwards. ...It was a great pity that only a small proportion of the National Servicemen who served on the tour of duty took part in the march. Many had already been discharged and were not recalled for the march.'

Michael O'Brien, on returning to Australia after 7 RAR's first tour in 1967-1968, in his book, Conscripts and regulars with the Seventh Battalion in Vietnam, Allen & Unwin in association with 7RAR Association Inc., St Leonards, 1995, p.142
