Is it just me or does anyone else think Norman said something pretty messed up to get Dez going ? He ' s been dealing with some personal stuff and has been passionate but calm toward the other team . Plus with the way they he and Norman were very chummy during week 2 , it seems odd how at it they went . Just my opinion anyway . Could be nothing . Dez has since seemed to have calmed down a bit since the game though . <| sep |> Wow congratulations . You posted a below average Loki combo with a piss poor build , just to rag on Loki . Good job . <| sep |> Jesus Christ that ' s Justin Bourne <| sep |> 5 c 1 for white invader <| sep |> Even if Stalin did value the lives of his troops more , the reality is that the Red Army was not really a force that could have made progress trying to limit casualties . The Germans at that time had better training and doctrine , and while their equipment was not overwhelmingly better , the Germans knew how to use what they had very well . The Red Army would become a much better led , and hardened veteran force as time went on and they found their footing , but they were basically still a peasant conscript army at their core . They had numbers and they needed to use those numbers to be able to compete with the Germans effectively . I am not a big fan of Stalin as a person , or as a leader , but in this case , I don ' t think he could have made any other decision .
