Yeah, Stonewall was hit by friendly fire, but IIRC it was caused by a password screw up around a perimeter, and he was shot by a sentry at night. He wasn’t fragged.
Yeah, that’s the official story.
I’m sure those snuffies loved marching 50 miles per day. I’m sure.
There are no good guys in this war. Some sycophant from either side will quickly jump the shark to attack a neysayer. But it is a sure bet that Putin had objectives when he sent columns into the Ukraine. Their intel likely knew where to go first to find the smoking guns he can use against the West propaganda. Is Putin even sane? I don’t know, but he had objectives when he launched a military campaign against a sovereign nation, a corrupt to the core sovereign nation but a sovereign nation. Is Putin justified in this massacre? Hardly. But will the Russian people see the evil he is generating? When he invaded Crimea he had a religious icon carried around to many fronts. He sit in God’s eye then and now he is ignoring the truth that there is a Deity Who is getting more and more pissed at his evil actions. The Bible says GOD puts hooks in the jaws to bring Russia to an ignominious end as they try to destroy Israel.
What’s your point?
There is that. But it was fairly early in the war and spirits were still high.
A 50 mile forced March wwhile carryingequipment..demanding. It’s been a generation or two since I could have considered doing it.
That was a couple of great memes that you posted - thanks.
I was going to ping you on this thread, but I see you already aware of it:
“Major General Vladimir Frolov, deputy commander of the 8th Guards Combined Arms unit, was given a military funeral in St Petersburg earlier today.”
Operating around Kherson in the South.
Such a foolish effort to stand a strawman. You are a disgusting troll. Piss off
Just let the crime and rapes and killings go unanswered while they launder money and build bio labs for the west? I’m no fan of war, I’ve seen enough, but stop pretending Russia just woke up one day and decided to go invade. This is Bosnia 2.0.
At least their generals and colonels are out there on the front lines.

…..and to add, I hear the Ukies upper echelons have suffered the same. You will not hear that from western MSM.
Monitoring non western media, Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, India and Russian MOD, the Ukies have also suffered hugely….why else are they begging for arms, ammo, men, aircraft, artillery, tanks, no fly zones, just about every weapons category.
1100 Ukie Marines just surrendered in Mariupol, and “ foreign” video does show large amounts of Ukies in captivity, especially from the Eastern provinces.
War propaganda from both sides.
Just a flashback to the Russian propaganda posters that boasted of their support for NVA in case you’ve forgotten whose side the Russians were on.
Sheesh.
Next thing you know, with this “Base renaming” shit, I did BCT at Ft. Wanaka.
Spit.
5.56mm
I haven’t forgotten. The NVA got me a Purple Heart.
Plenty of generals and admirals were killed in W.W. II and in every war, nothing new here.
“We would like to carry on this mission together with the Soviet Union, because no one can do it without the Soviet Union.” — North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap in a speech in Moscow, 1971
No, absolutely not.
TRUMP boosted American economy
-Historic tax cuts and deregulation: After eight years of high unemployment and meager growth under President Obama’s
-President Trump issued an executive order giving more specific protections to freedom of speech on college campuses by threatening the loss of federal research dollars if free speech for all students and faculty members not allow.
-President Trump directed the Department of Education to REVOKE the Obama administration’s guidance letter to schools allowing children claiming to be “transgender” to no longer use bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers of their choice, and join sports teams of their choice, even when their choices differed from their biological sex.
-President Trump issued an executive order to ban transgender persons from entering military forces, allowing biological males free access to women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and showers, and similarly allowed biological females to enter men’s facilities.
TRUMP foreign policy
-Negotiated historic agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates
-Reversed Obama’s repeated marginalization and shunning of Israel, President Trump reaffirmed our commitment to support and defend Israel.
-Building a border wall
-President Trump proposed and worked for sensible, comprehensive reform of our broken immigration system to change our policy on legal immigration
-President Trump insisted that NATO countries start to pay their fair share of defense costs
-President Trump withdrew the United States from Paris Climate Accord President Trump wisely and decisively removed the United States from the Paris climate accord. A radical environmentalist program bringing massive increases to U.S. energy prices with no statistically significant benefit to the environment. That doubling or tripling of U.S. energy costs would have harmed the poor most of all as they spend the highest portion of their budgets on energy.
In addition, it would cost America more than 206,000 jobs by 2040.
-President Trump goal for energy production and energy independence. He gave approval to:
Keystone pipeline,
the Dakota access pipeline,
oil production from the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge,
granted more permits for mining of oil, gas, and coal
from federal lands.
-Stopping the increase in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards of Obama-imposed harsh annual increases to be projected in average miles per gallon required in new cars every year. This decision leads to more consumer choice and less expensive and safer cars which is much better than Obama policy of ever-higher mileage goals, requiring ever-lighter and smaller cars resulting in more dangerous cars and less consumer choice.
- Rightfully returned “waterways of the U.S.” policy control of water back to the owners of private lands, rather than the federal government seizing control over nearly all waterways in the United States.
-President Trump released new guidelines to limit environmental impact studies to two years and limit less-extensive environmental assessments to one year. This would literally cut thousands of years of cumulative delay for construction projects helping in renewing our aging infrastructure.
PUTIN economic rebirth now turned into stagnation
-Russia has become a complete domestic, political, and economic dead end.
-Since 2008, the GDP has not grown—Putin’s economic model is not working.
-Putin’s foreign-policy goals are not different from historic Russian, Soviet, and Imperial Russian foreign-policy goals.
-Putin promised to “Make Russia Great.” However, by annexing foreign land and injected a hybrid war in the neighboring country. As a result, Russia did not become great or even respected.
-Putin’s Russia, is feared, distrusted and disgusted by the larger world for its policies based on lies, assassinations, and unpredictability.
-If Yeltsin had chose Boris Nemtsov to succeed him, Russian democracy might have survived.
-The most significant change Putin is young Russians do not know what free discussion is or what democracy means.
-A person within Russian society can make money only by not interfering in politics and not criticizing the authorities forces giving up all options beyond their personal life and work.
-Putin has shown Russia can violate the human rights of its citizens and others without serious consequences.
-Putin want to be a lifetime ruler, prolonging the deadlock indefinitely. Moscow is trying to create a way for Putin to rule until 2036.
PUTINISM has NOTHING POSITIVE to offer to the world except threats, disinformation, and disruption.
Matt, I never saw that picture before. That is absolutely sickening.
That’s right. And some were killed by friendly fire.
