Nathan Hardee: "Russians don't fuck around. They show up in a kickass battle vehicle ready to fucking turn those trees to toothpicks!"

Jozsef Nyisztor: "The Soviet women in the video, who were eating the Toblerone, are the most beautiful women in the World. They should be fashion models, and not grave robbers."

Kent Churchill: "These folks know how to have fun, even when doing a tough job like finding lost countrymen. If I fall in battle.....I hope that my bones get found by woman as beautiful as these girls!!!!....Oh yeah...thats right, grab my femur.......oh yeah!!"

Scott Summers: "If i was to fall in combat.I wouldnt want my corpse to be moved away from where I was at.Its like an honor to die among my fellow soldiers with my remains there instead of some goddamn museum or preserves.I want someone to chance upon it and go like damn.These people faught for us.Gave the ultimate price.Hell i would be happy to stay there."

"All I can think when watching is that those same wet, soggy and miserable swamp-like conditions they're digging in were probably as it was when the poor soldiers were fighting there all those years ago. It must have been sheer hell on earth. Waterlogged and tangled underfoot, difficult conditions to navigate when not fighting all out war, but crawling through that undergrowth with bullets flying and shell exploding all around, trees falling, mud flying... sheesh! Cold, wet and no doubt very tired, punctuated by sheer terror. "

"Only GOD and the earth of Mother Russia KNOW the TRUE number of the fallen!!"
