FerretFangs 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Well, hell if they're drunk that might explain the blue blankets. It just doesn't make much sense to me to wear somthing so impractical. Even while training. You train as you fight, and fight as you train. And those berets look like big blue targets to me. Something tells me that the Chechens aren't very impressed, or intimidated. I wouldn't be.

FerretFangs 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Perhaps, if I wasn't armed to the teeth. But then, I'm an American, and you know there's millions of us who are certainly armed to the teeth. I think it would be in Mr. Blue Beret's best interests to find himself a helmet and a foxhole. Besides, he'd have much bigger worries, than me. Like whether he was going to survive the next Chechen attack, for instance. The VDV has been getting severely punished in that little conflict, and have taken hundreds of casulties. That must really suck considering they don't get paid very much. Morale can not be good at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sv5000 127 Posted July 19, 2004 Maybe they are just proud of their achievment to earn the right to wear a Blue beret? British para's - Red beret. Conventional forces always find it difficult fighting unconvential war - you yanks kicked so much arse in vietnam.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why don't you visit a home base (located in Pskov) of the 76 gv. VDD, and ask them about their morale ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FerretFangs 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Well, obviously, it's not about the money. Not that it's important, but if they aren't in it for the money, then what are they in it for? What do they have to lose in Chechnya, except their lives? I suppose you're going to tell me they want to be there? Or is this about something else, like Afghanistan was. Right? Anyway....

MaximoPoder 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Pretty blue berets, too. That will make a huge difference in combat, I'm sure. Silly, IMO. Â They dont use it on combat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VDV are not regular units .. they dont do regular operations .. the Chechens know that .. and the rest of the world too .. even the militarys .. like when the russians (VDV) took the Pristina airport on Yuguslavia ...

FerretFangs 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Sure, if you want. Make this personal if you want. Make this "us against you" if you need to. How dare I post the truth, eh? I'm such a bastard, for not understanding that it's all for the good of Mother Russia, right? But actually I don't have any need to argue this with you. Obviously, you have extremely important national interrests in Chechnya, and you're fighting for your lives. Good luck with that. What a waste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FerretFangs 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Because the American people overwhelmingly wanted to remove Saddam from power. Last I heard he's in jail. Agree with that reasoning or not, that's the facts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
