I'm retired Military and I have never viewed the Russian state or Putin as anything more than what they are.
The continued enemy of my Country.

Worth repeating!
Leatherneck,
You've joined us late. Let me tell you what has actually been going on. Spanalot has been calling military veterans traitors for pointing out inaccurate statements he has made about Russia. By pointing out these inaccurate statements, spanalot has decided that we've been pledging alligience to Russia and to Putin. Nothing is further from the truth. Instead, this person, who has NOT served in our military (note the "our military" ask him who he served), decides that we're traitors for disagreeing with him.
So, now he belittles a mission I'm involved in and heaps scorn upon it because I won't back up his pro-Ukrainian nationalism that he spews on here.
BTW, Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice, etc., have stated Russia is not the enemy. Doesn't mean they're our allies, but...
