In the words of the great Ken M, it is an example of life imitating art.

Huh? I don't get it.

The Russians had their own famous flag raising a little over two months later. And unlike the American flag raising at Iwo, the Russian flag raising in Berlin was completely staged for political purposes.

Just giving you shite for your moderate obsession with the Russian military. Obsession may not be the right word, but you get the idea.

I hope whoever had the idea for the do-over got promoted because that has always been a GOAT pic.

Gotcha. But just for the record, I'm not one of their fan boys that we see on here all the time. Yeah, they're a growing threat, far bigger of a threat than many on here want to admit. But I'm too much of an old Cold War warrior to ever trust or really even like those bastards.
