  2. Works for me. Where do I enlist in the Ukrainian Army? I want a guarantee on the chicks though.

  3. From what I could understand they said something about a contract.
    Maybe you jon the military by some contract?
    My parents spoke Slovak. This was Ukranian I think.

  4. Chick: Here, drink this, that will cure you of “Sleazei-tis-Eurotrash-itis” Oops, that didn’t work.
    Chick: “Hey, you’ve actually got teeth”
    Soldier: “yeah baby, eight years salary and selling my grandmother on the black market paid for them.”

  5. g1800: They are indeed Ukranian … I speak Czech, but can only pick out a few words. The term they use for the girls is the one Czechs use for very young women … it’s an endearing term. I think the girls are all rushing off to join up … it looks like it’s a volunteer force much like ours if that’s the case.
    Note the guy strokes his “gun” just before he hops off the APC.

  6. Chick 1: “Ooooh that’s such a nice, pretty beret you have soldier boy!”
    Soldier 1: “Yeah mama, I sold my soul to Uncle Putin for it, you like?”

  7. Loser Guy: “Hey, where are all you pretty mamas running?”
    Chicks: “We want to pull plow for Private Borat!”

  8. To those trying to figure it out…my wife is Russian and can, thus, understand about 80% of the words.
    Basically, it is an ad trying to make a big point of showing off that the Ukranian military is no longer the decrepid old Soviet-style army where everyone is drafted (and thus a soldier is nothing more special than any other 18 year-old kid who is there by force). Instead, it is flashy and new and the modern soldier is there as a sort of “contracted” free agent – which is, presumably more respectable and less ho-hum than the way it used to be.
    This is much more appealing to the ladies than even a flashy businessman…yadda yadda yadda.

  12. stevePerhaps…sorry looks more like Rick Mercer…the quintesential leftard from the Rock. And you haven’t got the guts to sign up!!

  13. Hey it’s all about getting the girls….isn’t it?
    The Swedes have a military? Really? teehee

  15. Yes, the Swedes have a military, and while it is small, and Sweden is … not forceful in its foreign policy, they can use it. THey forced a Soviet submarine to surface in the 70s after they caught it in their territorial waters.

  20. Geez!
    I think I dimly remember a fantasy along these lines before joining up.
    Today I guess I would have to explain to the new military personnel that feminine companionship can be available(ahem), but this almost always involves remuneration as an exchange of value.
    Whether this would be the enticement that the young combatant was looking for is something I cannot say.

  21. lberia, being the pacifist Leftist you are, you’ve obviously never heard of the Swedish Bofors canon.

    Wake up Doug,iberia isn’t a pacifist,POS like him just want Western Civilisation to lose.
    He’s all FOR our warlike enemies.
    Mr.g

  23. … and all the pirohy and borsch you can eat and vodka you can drink … greaaat contract, where do I sign up … LOL

  26. Doug, Mr.g: If you only knew what Kate knows.
    Anyway, there’s nothing bad about being a pacifist…after all, Christ was one.

  28. Iberia, I wouldn’t be so sure. Consider Matthew 10, for example:
    34″Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to turn
    ” ‘a man against his father,
    a daughter against her mother,
    a daughter-in-law against her motherinlaw—
    36a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
    It is true that Jesus was in favor of peace, and urged people to live in harmony and love each other, but he was no hippy saying “peace, man” while holding up two fingers. His actions against the money-changers in the temple (Mark 11) are another example.

  30. Doug: That takes me back…….about 45 years ago, living in Australia, I heard a politician talk about OZ’s northern defences……he said all they had taking care of the top half were a couple Bofors guns in Darwin, and those, he commented, “Had never been known to hit anything”.

  34. Even though it’s a dead thread:
    No, Christ was NOT a pacifist. That’s a revelation of your lack of knowledge of Christianity.

  35. “It is true that Jesus was in favor of peace, and urged people to live in harmony and love each other, but he was no hippy saying ‘peace, man’ while holding up two fingers. His actions against the money-changers in the temple (Mark 11) are another example.”
    Indeed. Christ is neither a “pacifist” nor a “revolutionary” nor a “socialist” nor an “activist.” He consistently defies all attempts at such pidgeon-holing from all sides of the political spectrum.
    To atheists, he’s a myth.
    To agnostics and United Church members (is there a difference?) he was some socially concerned humanistic chap who lived long ago.
    To Jews, he was an eccentric home-schooled rabbi and leader of a small Jewish cult.
    To Muslims, he was a prophet.
    To Christians he can only ever be one thing: God Incarnate, the Son of Man, the Messiah.

  38. My sons are from Transylvania, and the style of the ad is similar to Romanian ads. Eastern Europe didn’t really see much advertising until 1990, and not in quantity until 2000, so they don’t have the same barriers and filters that we developed over the years.
