I am active duty in the United States Air Force and will be visiting Moscow and St. Petersburg in the next few months. I was wondering what the typical Russian thinks about our military.

Mad afcapt asked a legitimate question. Why can't you give a reasonable and decent answer? I too am interested in answers to this question as it may apply to other americans as well. Are there any articulate Russian people with decent manners (besides Alice... and she's a mod) on this post?
Some of us come here looking for information, not abuse. Please help us out here, ok? DennisF Cool

To the author: please elaborate. I quite like the US military tradition, the honours system, the training, all that stuff they show you in the movies Smile A few friends of mine (Russians) graduated from Kings Point (US Merchant Marine Academy) so I have first-hand stories about the US military training and customs. I also like the uniform Smile

I will omit the topic of the US military policy, it is too big to discuss here. I'll just say that I was one of 1 million people who demonstrated in London against the Iraq invasion.

Another thing worth mentioning I suppose is the attitude to the WWII involvement. Whilst I came to realise the contribution the Allied forces made in defeating fascism, it saddens me a great deal that many Americans dtill believe that only the US should be credited for the victory. But I guess it's not so much to do with the military itslef, as with the way history is taught in American schools

FAGGOT MEANS GAY!!!!

HOW CAN THEY SAVE THE GIRLS IF THEY ARE GAY FAGGOTS??

I ACTUALLY LIKE THE NAVY BECAUSE THAT MEANS THERE ARE MORE GIRLS FOR ME!!!

would have been more appropriate for u to say, ' so they can save people like you from gays'

I know what it means, you plonker! They save the girls from the likes of you because it's the girls who think that uniform is sexy. So they would rather go for gay navy guys, than narrow-minded obnoxious idiots like you!

That is quite apart from the fac that "navy" does not mean "gay", no matter what you pea-sized mind might have imagined

NO!!! I STILL WIN!!

because the ladies go home with the handsome navy guys after falling in love with them and when it comes to the business in bed, the navy guys have to make their apologies as to why they have no penis.

the sad ladies then leave very upset and come and find me where i show them how a man should love a woman, and then they are upset no more!!

LOL @ GAY NAVY AND U WHO EVEN ADMIT THIS!!!!!

Admit what? That I served my country?

A real man is someone who doesn't shout on every corner that he is a real man. And you, with your gay-bashing attitude sound like a typical latent homosexual to me. Go watch "American beauty", you'll see what I mean
