Photos Of Spetsnaz In Chechnya

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

I apologise you are absolutly correct! Let me see... They are... green. Yes I see...and clean. Yes. very clean. Here they are standing and clean and green, very green...here they are walking, clean, and green. And now squating, clean and green.

Forgive me Kollyvas but you are not expressing any opinion other than these are impressive photos. They are not. Impressive men YES, but not impressive photos. This is not deserving of our time or attention and deffinately not our bandwidth. That my friend is on topic.

Please enlighten my darkness. What were you thinking when you posted this topic originally? You said that the photos were impressive, what did you find impressive in them?

I am not being sanctimonious or insincere. I am not gesticulating in a tantrum or being imature. I am trying to help you understand how pointless and unecessary this topic and many like it really are.

Are you not aware these men are on the front line for Orthodoxy fighting islamic terrorists? Perhaps that's not impressive enough for you or you don't have a grasp of it or you simply have another agenda.

So according to you sometimes Russian Orthodoxy(in Russia) is True Orthodoxy(like in this case) and other times it's a Stalinist founded body in communion with Rome. What would be worth defending about the latter?

I have yet to use the word stalinist and you should brush up on what Ive written. The islamic terrorists are targeting ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS in Russia....

My charity, These men are the warmth of my heart. There is not a day that goes by I do not pray for them and for the countless thousands that do what they do. I UNDERSTAND in the only way experience can. I was once one like them. But still these are not impressive photos to me. They are stage for propoganda. Show me a man who has gone without food for days covered in the dust and blood of recent battle, then I would agree that is impressive. Show me photos of men returning to loving families wives, and mothers. That would be impressive. Show me a man who came home to nothing, and no one and still holds his head high because he can sleep at night with a clear concience and THAT would impress me. But not these. No not these.

Kollyvas, please tell me. What did YOU find impressive in these photos.

I see... now we are getting some where. Please? Can you expand on your discussion? I understand you find these men impressive and not necessarily those photos. Ok?

Posting a link to something without any understanding is frustrating to me. Send me a smilie face and tell me what you think, what you feel, or what you hope for; that is so much more fufilling than "Hey, look at this."
