-
Very well.
-
They're coming.
-
Now we'll see how these Ukrainians deal with a crack Russian division.
-
Vlad?
-
Have courage my friend.
-
Yeah.
-
Vlad, I've just noticed something.
-
These communists are all cowards.
-
Have you looked at our caps recently?
-
Our caps?
-
The badges on our caps. Have you looked at them?
-
What? No. A bit.
-
They've got skulls on them.
-
Have you noticed, that our caps have actually got little pictures of skulls on them?
-
I ... I don't ...
-
Vlad…
-
... are we the baddies?
-
Let's see. We should be able to hold them at this point here. At least for a few hours.
-
Why skulls, though?
-
What?
-
Why skulls?
-
Well, maybe they are the skulls of our enemies.
-
Maybe. But is that how it comes across?
-
It doesn't say next to the skull, you know ...
-
"Yeah we killed him, but trust us, this guy was horrid."
-
Well no, but ...
-
I mean what a skull is making you think of?
-
Death, cannibals, beheading ... ehm ... pirates.
-
Pirates are fun!
-
I didn't say we weren't fun. But fun or not, pirates are still the baddies.
-
I just can't think of anything good about a skull.
-
What about pure Aryan skull shape?
-
Even that is more usually depicted with the skin still on.
-
Whereas the Allies ...
-
Oh, you haven't been listening to Allied propaganda.
-
Of course they're gonna say we are the bad guys.
-
But they didn't get to design our uniforms.
-
Their symbols are all, you know, quite nice.
-
Stars, stripes, lions, tridents?
-
What's so good about a sickle?
-
Well, nothing. And obviously, if there's one thing we have learned in the last thousand miles of retreat,
-
it's that Ukrainian agriculture is in dire need of mechanization.
-
Tell me about it.
-
But you've gotta say, it's better than a skull.
-
I mean, I really can't think of anything worse as a symbol than a skull.
-
A rat's anus?
-
Yeah, and if we were fighting an army marching under the banner of a rat's anus,
-
I'd probably a lot less worry, Vlad.
-
Okay.
-
So ...
