US servicemen will participate in the Victory Day Parade on Red Square in Moscow on May 9, Alexander Vershbow, assistant defense secretary for international security affairs said. The Americans will celebrate the 65th anniversary of Victory in WWII, the official said.
Vladimir Kozhin, an official spokesman for the administration of the Russian president, confirmed that Moscow had invited France, Britain and the United States for the parade. The French were the first to agree. They now decide soldiers of which troops will march in the heart of Moscow on May 9.
If all is arranged as planned, it will be the first time when foreign military men will step on Red Square pavestones as participants of the parade. Russia invited only military attaches of foreign embassies for victory parades before.
The parade in 2010 is a special one. It will be the largest parade that has ever been held in Moscow during the post-Soviet years. We plan to use 130 planes and helicopters, as well as military hardware from private collections in the parade, a spokesman for Russias Defense Ministry said

Obamas Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008
Frank Marshall Davis
Barack Obamas childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. Smash on, victory-eating Red Army, he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
The Red Army poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:
Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

....all enemies..foreign and domestic...are coming out into the open now....
Maybe this is the link you meant? http://www.hoover.org/publications/digest/2920311.html I tried your link and it was dead.
General Patton had the right idea...what a better world we’d have if he was allowed to do what he wanted to do.
Thanks! The link used to work. They must have changed it recently.
Our troops should be there to honor the veterans of all the allies who fought to defeat the Nazis.
Communism is not dead. Its carrying the same goals of the old Soviet Party, only under a different name.
Amen
The Soviets murdered at least twice the number of people mad man Hitler did.
"'The Black Book of Communism,'; a scholarly accounting of communisms crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone), and some say that number is too low."

Are you two guys aware that the Russians TODAY are helping to build up Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers, and other Latin America Marxist dictatorships? And also working more closely than ever with the ChiComs to, in their own words, "create a new global order"? That they have staged 3 sets of joint war games in the past 5 years with the ChiComs. That they are helping strengthen Iran and Syria. That they helped Saddam Hussein before and even during the Iraq War. That they are currently threatening their former satellites, i.e., Georgia and others. That KGB Putin misses the good old days of the Soviet Union, and describes the 'collapse' as the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century".
PING. Same thread from yesterday, with some new responses.
All that can be placed to the side to celebrate VE Day.
The victory in Europe is one of the greatest events in human history and it is right to celebrate that event.
Of course it is! But the Soviets murdered 20 million people! We shouldn't be "celebrating" anything with them, especially when they're threatening to return to their 'glory days'.
