Yeah. Pointing out errors in logic and grammar is rude. Calling somebody "mass murderer" without being able to support it is apparently not.

and requesting sources only to add to your rudeness without providing anything of your own
Since when does the accused (you may consider me Stalin's defender here) need to prove anything? You go and prove your accusations.

If you've read my profile, you would know that I am very reputable and knowledgeable in combat tactics, and their is little that you can tell me that I don't already know.
What does combat tactics have to do with this thread? And why do I need to trust your profile? Will you trust my profile if it says "I am Stalin and I swear I never mass-murdered anybody"?

I am quite familiar with the ins and outs of punishing retreating soldiers, which their is far more to then you mentioned.
Probably. I only said that the death penalty or the "first blood" penalty was not all that uncommon at the time of war, and had nothing to do with mass murders.
