all out sons-of-bitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks Продолжаю. То, что сделал Александр Македонский при Гавгамелах, было просто гениально. Раньше думал, что Паттона (George S. Patton) подставили в Лотарингии, но теперь -- что наступать, не зная, сколько у тебя топлива, или зная, что не хватит, -- как минимум, глупо. Паттон о русских: "The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinese or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other amiable characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and they are all out sons-of-bitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks." |
