    What an amazing displace of grace, coordination, and sheer muscular power. It might look a little goofy at times, but this is truest a spectacle of peak human condition and training.

      That joke is not funny anymore. It kind of works with germans facing the french but russians, really? Who pulled back and burned his own land, waiting for general Winter to destroy the ennemy's army?
      If anything, the french are prone to get cocky and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in complete fail actions (see battle of Waterloo)
      But please, stop with the coward joke, I bet you didn't even laugh while writing it.
