infantry (n.) Look up infantry at Dictionary.com1570s, from French infantrie, from older Italian, Spanish infanteria “foot soldiers, force composed of those too inexperienced or low in rank for cavalry,” from infante “foot soldier,” originally “a youth,” from Latin infantem (see infant). Meaning “infants collectively” is recorded from 1610s.

We have this thing called ROTC, or did last time I checked.

Good for the Russians, we need to get more young Americans engaged before the “ban dodge ball” crowd completes it’s goal of turning America into a band of whining, wimpy cry babies.

Not really. Under western installed Bolshevism 20 million Russian people died. Since Putin...Orthodox Christianity has made a revival. Thankfully...as the “west” has never really stayed on the righteous path...

Recheck your history. Russians accepted Bolshevism, used it, relished it, and were, in turn corrupted by it. One of the largest forces of evil the world has ever known...Russia.

These are truths that can’t be wished away by blaming the West.

Only a hopelessly impaired liberal would "gasp".

I'd love for my boys to have an opportunity like this and I'm all but certain they would rather do this than Disney World

Meanwhile, our boy scouts are earning their fisting badges.


LOL. I shouldn’t laugh because I know it’s true.

We’ve got 13 year old boys walking around with guns here too. Unfortunately, so many of them are just learning how to be thugs.

“Some parents would gasp at the thought of their children playing with a toy gun, but these Russian children are actually encouraged to take up real arms.”

Well, the Russians have one big problem. When those kids get a bit older, they discover vodka. And they drink it copiously. A big problem in their military and their society in general, too many drunk, alcoholic males.

Don’t forget bricks. In Killadelphia, the new pastime is to just smash people’s faces in with bricks.

Parents should do all they can to keep their kids from going to Temple if such violence is taking place. No way I would want to send a child into such a cesspool.

If it starts hurting a major employer/business in the area, they may realize we’ve got to stop these thugs. Otherwise, it’s going to be bad for business.

If I had a child — especially a daughter, she wouldn’t be going to a town like killadelphia on my dime.

Child Soldiers:

It is common in that part of the world.

Some 20 years ago you should have hit moving targets 150 yards away with AK in full auto just to graduate a secondary school in Russia. And it was just one of many military-related tests.

They’ve taught kids urban warfare, anti-tank and basic anti-air tactics.

It was standard in Eastern Europe, there are no pajama boys and it was a reason why their conflicts like Balkan or Chechen war were so bloody. Almost everyone is a trained soldier.

My nephew joined the Young Marines and is now a commissioned officer (In the real USMC), while they aren’t everywhere, it is a great option.

As it should be. They are not over the top. We are degenerate.
