Wow, really? I suppose that works when cheer leading the troops. That kind of rhetoric portraying the enemy combatant as cowardly is always used in war. The Jap Nip was characterized as such as was the Vietnamese Gook and we all know how well they fought. The Gooks even kicked us out of their country. The Russians would be the last I would portray that way given their performance against the German army in WWII or against Napoleon and his army.

We know how to put fuel in a fuel tank and plan for logistics.

In OIF we had the problem of units running beyond their supply train because they couldn't keep up over hundreds of miles. See, the Thunder Run to baghdad.

In Ukraine Russian units ran out of fuel because they started bone dry and their logistic units were destroyed by Ukrainian partisans. See, the 40 mile long convoy.
