That's not a burn; that's a super nova.

Thanks for posting this.

Thank you, Bright. That's a keeper.

Oh damn. That hurt.

As it should.

Whatever is beyond this life, may they rest there peacefully.

That's Georgy Zhukov. He was no poser.

Started as a conscripted private, Eastern Front WWI. Somehow survived. The horrors of the Eastern Front match the Western, at least the troops in the West had half way decent logistics.

Climbed the greasy pole during the 20's and 30's, including surviving Stalin's purges of the Red Army.

WWII and he came into his own. Lead several campaigns and won them, among others the Battle of Kursk and Operation Bagration. Finished off by rolling up the German army on the Eastern Front, giving the USSR most of Eastern Europe.

Stalin feared him as he should have. Zhukov had the Red Army in his holster. When that monster died, Zhukov supported Khrushchev in getting rid of another monster, Beria.

A good thing today's Red Army generals aren't anything like Georgy or we'd have a lot more to talk about than what MTG is up to this week.

When men have spend 10 hours in a delivery room pushing a heavy load out a vajayjay, get back to us.

Everyone has a heavy load; it's called life.

You made us feel like we were there with you.

Beautiful writing, beautiful story.

Thank you.
