Maybe it’s that crazy uncle of Obama’s who liberated Auschwitz.

Its ironic. Liberals don't consider our wars as patriotic as the Russians still view their great conflict for national survival The Great Patriotic War.

I can’t get to the article. Did the Palm Beach post already pull it down to avoid embarassing a (D)?

I clicked the link and got a notice that the page was not found. Did it get spiked already?

...a flier sent out by U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney ...shows an elderly gentleman bedecked with what appear to be Soviet medals. The picture is on the cover of a Mahoney flier labeled: “Honoring Those Who Defend Our Freedom.”

Our freedom? Not to be disrespectful to guys who fought in trenches, but they - Soviet soldiers - were fighting to save Soviet Union, not to defend our freedom (till Nazis attacked in June 1941, Soviets were even in cahoots with them)...

And, yes, we all know how libs honor those who indeed defend freedom - by spitting on them when they return home.

Hey Fox, that photo looks like some of the Russians who
immigrated in the late 1990s and bit later and some who
live a block from me in sr. citizen high rises here in San Diego

Until they got a clue, I would see some at the bus stops
at the corner with their Communist Medals from WWII.

Hey Tim, time to change the photo. Use this one next time:

While I wouldnt want to honor the Red Army, most of those men were fighting for Mother Russia, not Joe Stalin. The Russians have historically been Hell for any invader, especially the winter, in spite of the generally poor quality of the doctrine, and their generals. If only on the basis of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend, they were our allies.

My Uncle got a nice little swim in the Greenland Sea (Latitude 71 degrees 05 minutes North, Longitude 13 degrees twenty minutes West), 4 November 1942, trying to guard the supplies being taken to Murmansk, Russia. He was a Naval Armed Guard on the "SS William Clark". (0f Lewis and Clark) he was lucky though, he *only* lost a couple of toes to frostbite, not even enough to get him discharged after his recovery instead they sent him to Flight Preparatory School at DePauw University. I don't think he ever became a flier, so he may have washed out and been sent to machinist school instead, since that is what he became, eventually.
