The Russians Know How To Party
By Gary;
There is no doubt about it. The Russians not only know how to party, but how to honor the men and women who died in the Great Patriotic War (World War II) against the Nazis.
They put on a great show with cavalry units, Cossacks, elite infantry, weapons etc. But of greater interest is the obvious show of pride and patriotism for the Russian nation.
Patriotism - something we almost never see in self-absorbed Americans who are far more interested in free hand outs and their shiny toy phones that make cute sounds.
Question of the day - Just where are the American parades honoring WWII? You already know the answer. Americans just don't give a crap.
