Great Battle Cries - Ukranian Soldiers Now Top the List!

Surprised we haven't had much discussion about this ballsy Ukranian mofos guarding Snake Island.

If you don't know what they did, then here's an updated link.

At first it was reported they'd all been killed. Now it looks like they've survived, but were captured. Who fucking knows? Reports out of this theater are all over the damned place.

But as a Texan, I gotta admire their guts in the face of insurmountable odds. After all, we were surrounded by Mexicans once upon a time (chit, some will argue we still are!) and know a good battle cry!





Gotta hand it to the Ukranians!

One has to think they were captured? Trouble is. They'll prolly be executed. If so? I hope they tell them to fuck off again!

I'm surprised they didn't burn the whole island down.

unfortunately this actually did happen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Gaido


On 15 June 1942, Gaido and his pilot Frank O'Flaherty were weighted and thrown overboard by the Japanese to drown.[citation needed]

and so did this ....

On 1 February 1942, following a bombing raid on the Marshall Islands, the Enterprise came under attack by five twin-engine Japanese bombers. The lead aircraft, badly damaged by anti-aircraft fire, turned back towards the Enterprise, attempting to ram it. Seeing this, Gaido abandoned his watch post and jumped in a nearby Dauntless parked on the flight deck, and returned fire using the rear-facing 30 caliber machine gun turret. His fire disabled the aircraft, causing it to narrowly miss the Enterprise, only hitting parked aircraft (including the one Gaido was in) before spiraling into the sea. Upon seeing this act, Vice Admiral William Halsey spot-promoted him to aviation machinist mate first class.[2]

“Russian warship… if you say so”

Doesn’t have quite the same ring as a statement of defiance, dunnit?

I dont give a damn who posts what thread!

This should be a 5 star no matter what!

Iam as guilty as everyone else on being partisan. But this is an example where all of us should agree that these guys had guts!
