During my time in Military Special Ops I had the opportunity to meet Polish Recon men and Russian Spetznats (sp?) and Airborne men.

The Polish Recon and the Spetznats men were all large men. The Polish were reticent at first but eventually warmed up and were great guys and very good soldiers. The Spetznatz were stand-offish to the end.

The Russian Airborne men were reticent until after we all made a jump into DZ Holland at Ft Bragg. After the jump they loosened up and were pretty good guys.
