In one of the remaining Lame Cherry reminders in matter and anti matter what it used to be to be an American, the following is from the Bolo War or the War against the Bolshevski communists who rose by machine gun rule to loot mother Russia of her wealth and enslave those myriads of Japheth children.
This war of 1918 and 1919 is one which has been in synopsis featured here a few times. It was thee greatest foreign policy blunder in American history up to that time, and was only supplanted by Harry Truman handing over China to the same communists in the exact same abandonment of American allies there, and, only eclipsed by the handing over the Muslim world to the Islamocommunists by the regime of Marxist agent Barack Hussein Obama.
The socialist behind this was Woodrow Wilson who failed to send in the necessary American Soldiers and supplies, and then placed them all under the control of absolute incompetents in the British military officer staff who left American dead to whither and die, and left the American Soldier to "buck it up against odds of 10 to 1" as the Americans were told that any American was worth 10 communist mercenaries.
The quote below speaks of who Americans were and what aristocratic Europe was. The Americans appeared in Russia to fight in 45 below zero cold and Trotsky Stalin propaganda, and endured propaganda aimed at them too.
Americans were quartered in Russian homes, which for the most part were indoor dug latrines, a cow pen, a hay pen, sealed of all air, and the best bed in the place was the one on top of the stove.
The Russians were uncivilized in a brutish and superstitious people due to years of isolation. The reality is though that the Americans from recent immigrant Christian background readily even with language barriers, won over thee entire Russian population wherever they went.
The Russian were poor. They had rye bread and sometimes for luxury a horrid boiled salt herring paste mixed with rye bread as food.
The Americans seemed rich in having tobacco and hard tack. Many were the times that the Russians would find a doughboy helping a woman with work as all the men were conscripted in areas.
Many were the times a startled Russian woman who had not rationed her rations for 30 days would find a young American Soldier opening pack and sharing the bull beef and hard tack from his pack.
The following story related below is what Americans used to be to the last person, instead of the isolated incidents or having to be taught that by the gay military in trying to bribe Islamic militants.
"Furthermore, let it be said that the faithful representation of American ideals of manhood and square deal and democratic courtesy, here as on other fronts, but here in particular, won the confidence of the at first suspicious and pinkish-white government.
Our American soldiers' conduct never brought a complaint to the command headquarters.
They secured the affectionate support of the people of the Pinega Valley. Never was any danger of an enemy raiding force surprising the American lieutenant, sergeant or corporal whose detachment was miles and miles from help. The natives would ride a pony miles in the dark to give information to the Americans and be gratified with his thanks and cigarettes. Freely the Pinega Russians for weeks and weeks provided sleighs and billets and trench-building details and so forth without expecting pay.
An arrogant British officer travelling with a pocket full of imprest money could not command the service that was freely offered an American soldier. The doughboy early learned to respect their rude homes and customs. He did not laugh at their oddities but spared their sensitive feelings. He shook hands a dozen times heartily if necessary in saying dasvedania, and left the Russian secure in his own self-respect and fast friend of the American officer or soldier."

What a testament that is to Americans of that era. The English with pockets full of money could gain nothing from the Russians, but the Americans would have the peasantry mounting their shaggy ponies in the dead of Arctic winter, with Boloshevik dangers around them, to ride to the Americans and warn them like Paul Revere of the coming attack.
The White Russians, the Russians not communists adopted the Amerikanski Soldats, the American Soldiers, because the Americans were moral, genuine and treated the Russians with respect. Think of that in what these Americans were. They did not have to ask for help in work details nor pay for that work, as the peasants volunteered to help their Americans.
In the experience of this blog, the rich in America have devolved back to their British attitude in not giving a damn about someone like me or the millions of others in this Obama Super Depression. The rich expect everything for nothing, and it is the poor American who reaches out without being asked by this blog to donate, and it rips to the heart in having people donate 5 dollars they do not have.
America is two nations now in the grave. There are those in the gulag who are human and then there is the rich who are inhumane. They are arrogant and the human kindness has disappeared. They treat the poor as animals and recreate in the begging as the troubled sounds bother their delusions of how wonderful they are.
How wonderful are you?
