“Great men have Honor and Respect even to enemies.”

Both were honorable warriors on opposite sides.

Odd story from an RAF friend of mine from the sixties. There was an Island in the Indian Ocean where both RAF and USSR had refueling rights. It was a neutral nation, they just wanted to sell aviation fuel and whiskey at great costs and it is rumored ladies of the night also at great cost.

He was in a bar with his guys and Russians also were there. He said they were just like us. Though if ordered would do their best to kill you in war as would his guys.

I think the Island was the Mauritius Island.
