I remember exactly where I was when the Soviet Union collapsed. I had just gotten a tray of food from the Mess Hall and was looking for a table when it came over Armed Forces Network radio. I looked around for the expected outbreak of cheers but there was nothing. I went to a large table and sat down.

\/\/ayne: "Hey, did you guys hear that! The Soviet Union collapsed!"

A Collective "So?"

"Do you guys not understand why we are here in Germany, in the Armed Forces? Who our enemy is? The Soviet Union! We won!"

"I guess so...yeah...ok...I'm getting some desert..."

LOL, reminds me of Austin Powers....

Basil Exposition: A lot’s happened since you’ve been frozen. The Cold War’s over!
Austin Powers: All right! Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades? Eh?
Basil Exposition: Austin... we won.
Austin Powers: Oh, smashing, groovy, yay capitalism!

"Do you guys not understand why we are here in Germany, in the Armed Forces? Who our enemy is? The Soviet Union! We won!"

Great memory!

President Reagan was the President most responsible for the victory.

So many of our enemies in the Media wanted the "meld" with the Soviet Union.

You’d think you could grab a nearby lady and kiss her like the sailor did in that famous V-J day photo taken on Times Square.

Was that December 24, 1991, when the dissolution document was signed by Mikhail Gorbachev, or was that back in August 1991, when that coup attempt failed?
