I personally liked the way they bonded with each other in the movie. Sure there was vodka - it is how we all bond

Funny part is that in the movie they drink vodka in Afghanistan and smoke weed while in the USSR.
In reality it's much more likely to be the other way around

I thought it was heroin in Afghanistan?

Who knows maybe it was , but that is not the point. Even if it was that was well justified for those boys , don't judge

58k in Vietnam, 14500 in Soviet-Afghanistan war to be precise

The US also inflicted a lot more casualties and engaged in conventional battles in Vietnam.
Currently Yankee has 2400 dead in Afghanistan and is also losing ground steady, in what is a less intensive conflict.

I think its also advances in battlefield medicine which are saving more lives, as well as increased protection Kevlar vest and a smaller commitment. Plus Ivans mass slaughter of civilians was super unpopular

Is it still true ?

My favorite export

Baltica !! ^^ They have a great Kvass !!! ^^

Would love to try it.

That can is $3USD and it's 3.8 standard drinks (5.4% abv, 900mls). That glass is 450mls.

We have one kvass company here but it's $30 USD a dozen iirc and I haven't found it yet.

I think they're selling it as health food.

I cannot describe the taste to You but I'll try !
It is not like cola ! It is like soft beer. It's like carmel taste beer , sweet and sour at the same time.

Not to many poles here, the occasional Polish surname from way back when.

Anglosaxons union could be interesting but Americans and Aussies......

 

[AdamCrock]

... not possible ? edit : Americans are their own nation, they severed all ties in the great independance war against the British, ah well we still have Paris !


Ausiess ? They are British but with a "twist" , what are NZ's than ?

Who wants to be in a union with Americans lol.

I don't think they want to be with each either.

I agree but yet I do not fully understand Americans. I was never there (visas, Obama, Trump and other obstacles). For what it's worth they have a superpower nation there for over 200 hundred years and still going strong for what I know. Saved Europe's ass in a number of occasions too. Saved Jews, created their own country (and gave them nuclear weapons as detriment !!!), we cannot simply ignore their super - power. We just deal with it

Americans are great, I just wouldn't want to live their, move there, visit atm, eat their food etc.

Or even a fantasy Anglo Saxon union. Maybe a Commonwealth if nation's type union Aussie, NZ, Canada, UK, other Commonwealth nation's.

To quote Star Wars in regards to America "Rebel scum" (joke).

Sister went over recently with niece, food made them feel sick lol.
