I think it's a great idea. Face it, we don't have anything they don't know about and they don't have anything we don't know about. Anyone who thinks differently is crazy. I think Russian and American troops WOULD get along great.
Call me crazy, but I think the jury is still out on Russia's conversion to a free society. It's a great idea to form personal ties/friendships with future leaders in the Russian military, but I also think we should be very careful here.
How Machiavellian of you;)
