Rambo! Anywhere and everywhere, the S.A.V.A.G.E. forces of General Warhawk threaten the peace-loving people of the world, there's only one man to call! [Trautman: Get me Rambo!] From the canyons of skyscrapers to the canyons of remote mountain peaks, liberty's champion is unstoppable. Rambo! Helped by the mechanical genius known as Turbo and the master of disguises named Kat, the honor bound protectors of the innocent! Rambo, the Force of Freedom!

around 2010, I met a woman lawyer from Budapest, perhaps age 50 at the time, hence born around 1960, so her parents may have been young children during the war. She was blond, perhaps of German descent? had aristocratic mannerisms? She was very bitter, blaming the Hungary's circumstance on the outcome of the war (WWII). I had a brief tour of eastern europe in the late 80's. Czechoslovakia at the time, seem best economically, with east Germany not far off, and Budapest seemed ok compared to the poorer areas. As she irritated me, I had to hold back in not saying that you have to fight hard for a place in the sun. If the Wehrmacht had better allies, perhaps they could have stalemated the war and negotiated better terms.

In the end they didn’t negotiate anything; it was an unconditional surrender

I've known and know many Hungarians here in Australia...... they're not whingers so I suppose that She must have been used to "the finer things" and "finest people"?. She sounds like a "Negative Joanna". These people to my mind are often no better than Parasites.

The 80's?......I remember visiting Russia in '81, the conditions of Red Army Veterans sleeping in the City park's was beyond depressing, nothing but a park bench and this was May!.

[@Fuxerz]

Sad for any soldier to be sleeping on a park bench. After serving their country. I'm no Communist. I'm definitely not, but they still were soldiers. They deserve better than a park bench.​@AnthonyOMulligan-yv9cg

Don't start a war you can't finish.

[@williamhoude4165]

I don’t know how the German Generals looked at the vastness of Russia and actually thought it could be conquered, especially when their front line units couldn’t be resupplied.
