kicked their asses on 1905.

We had our own crazy bastards like Patton, who believed generals should lead charges like caesar did, but we eventually learned they're most useful behind tbe scenes.

Russia still had the generals in attack mode, and they still seem to be that way. The millions they lost under Stalin seems in their view to be a good thing.
