“ could our girlshooters compete? I said girlshooters, not girl's hooters I'll guess that most of you will be reminded of Enemy at the Gates, the four-star movie about Commie v. Nazi snipers at Stalingrad. Which movie is illustrative of something else;  Stalin's ruthlessness. In this film, and many others, much is made of the brutal nature of  fighting  in Stalin's army. Every unit had a political officer standing in the rear during battle.  If a comrade wavered in the slightest, he shot him dead.  The Russian soldier then performed admirably as cannon fodder; facing probable death from then superior Germans, over certain death from behind.  Stalin was ruthless (indeed), but the Russians held their own  against a German army, then  vastly superior.  He won.  Not many are aware of how George Washington treated deserters.  Once, an entire company of deserting mutineers were  captured.  He ordered the officers shot, and  men from their unit to be the firing squad.  When at first they fired over their fellow's heads, he warned that they would join the condemned if they missed a second time.  They didn't.  He won. ”   Tom Smith
