The Russian peasents who got chewed up didn't have any choice but to die for the state. If you deserted your family could be executed.

The US napalmed villages in N. Korea killing the majority of the civilian population time and again. N. Korea's current dictatorship and propoganda campaign is founded on the memory of brutal US war crimes.

War is brutal and evil. Soviet leadership was brutal and evil but its not like any other country has cornered the market on justice, compassion and truth.
