Those familiar with Operation Barbarossa (the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union) will
have noticed that John Milius filed off the serial numbers and reset it in the U.S.,
thereby trolling the "America, Fuck Yeah!" types hard. Most of them still haven't gotten it.

A few years ago, I thought it would be most amusing to dub it into Arabic and
release the subsequent video widely in Iraq- but that's just me...

Milius is not at all one of my favorite people, but it must be admitted he's a clever bastard.
