Of course... but I don't respect Russia for that.. I only respect the people living in Russia in those times.

Here in Italy I listen many guys proud of our past (the Roman Empire, the Renaissance ect...) but I keep thinking that WE people of the present have not done anything to be proud of. Conversely today's Italy is a s**t country, ruled by s**t politics (probably only the 10% of them are honest) and populated by s**t people stabbing each other for their own profit.

So I see humanity as a bunch of single human beings: there are no cities, there are no countries.. there are "you" and me: I respect you for that you have to say, not for the place you live.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
