His work has such vibrant colors to it, that's one of the reasons I love him.

She was a Ukrainian sniper conscripted by the Soviet Union. Get your fucking facts straight, OP. Fuck Russia.

The Soviet Union included the Ukrainian SSR. If I had mistakenly meant she was from the Russian SSR, I would have said so. Furthermore, she was a volunteer.

That's every system, though.

Counterintuitive as it seems, military service was honestly probably one of the least hated parts of colonialism at the time. Many young men were eager to sign up and get their hands on a gun and military experience, as young men... often are. As colonial powers also had incentive to keep those who were armed not too keen to put a bullet through their colonists' heads, military service often was voluntary and had significant benefits compared to the civilian colonized population, who were often subject to forced labor without compensation and a near-total lack of rights. For that reason, colonial troops stationed long-term on the Western Front acquired a reputation for tenacity and endurance, despite the fact that no one in their right minds would have blamed them for doing the bare minimum.

A sick world, where fighting in the trenches for a foreign occupier was one of the least bad outcomes for an individual.

Oh, I didn't notice and it's a bit late to change it now, but for future reference, stuff like this should go to HistoryArtifacts instead

This is how the Jews defeated the Nazis in WW2, clearly

We found him in South Carolina. He is 70-years-old and said he would climb any pole if it meant getting rid of the Confederate flag.

"Yes I will. It represents the ugliness in the world that we live in," he told ABC7 News.

We asked him if the name Dianne Feinstein should be removed from that school because she ordered the flag to be replaced after he took it down, not once but three times.

"They should have the name removed from the school. She does not represent what makes the people happy and what's good in the world we live in or in San Francisco," he added.

Yet that flag was there when George Moscone was mayor of San Francisco, before Feinstein. He did not take it down yet, there is a school named after him and the board is not removing his name. Bradley says Moscone's name should also be taken down.

At least one of the school board members suggested that perhaps they should name a school after Bradley. He said it wouldn't be a bad idea.

"I believe in helping the kids and having the kids have something to look up to that they can represent and the kids will be happy," he said.

He had this message for the members of the school board:

"Keep students in this country that we live in looking forward and looking at what represents them and what's good for America," he said with a smile.
