re: #203 lawhawk

In real like, the Russian marines aren’t so much like USMC Marines, but rather goons in uniforms designed to be glorified riot control.

are you confusing the VDV (Russian airborne/paratroops) with marines?

That tweet thread that claimed that they were “glorified anti riot police” was mostly bullshit.

(Yes, airborne troops, like marines, are less heavily armed than normal infantry — that’s true in every Army. In fact the one unusual thing about the VDV is that they are much *more* heavily armed that most other airborne formations).
