- Beckwith, on 09/14/2008, -5/+1256Be very afraid of this guy:

Over 500 confirmed kills during the Winter War. - MidnightRIder77, on 09/14/2008, -8/+618http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War
They're a little off. This is what happens when anyone can edit your encyclopedia. It doesn't really matter though. Russia got their ass kicked any way you look at it. - jec68, on 09/14/2008, -27/+536IN SOVIET RUSSIA SOMETHING WITTY
- MidnightRIder77, on 09/14/2008, -6/+361Don't forget the other 200+ kills with a submachinegun. What a badass.
- Tanktunker, on 09/14/2008, -8/+340Or rather be slightly less afraid of the USSR.
- SeanRoss, on 09/14/2008, -1/+298He used iron sights as well, damn that's badass. Dude had telescopic vision.
- mattgilberg, on 09/14/2008, -22/+274I suddenly have the urge to watch the movie 300.
- BedPost, on 09/14/2008, -1/+239Some ***** wrote "Hello Digg." on that wikipedia article.
- badenglishihave, on 09/14/2008, -1/+217706 kills equate to ~0.55% of the TOTAL kills Finland had during the Winter War.
To put that number in perspective, in theory you would only need 1,400 Simon Hayha's to kill all 1,000,000 of the Red Army soldiers. Wowee. - SnapDragon86, on 09/14/2008, -6/+206they should make a movie about this and call it 250,000
- xavyre, on 09/14/2008, -2/+193I hate Zombie Snipers.
- theOster, on 09/14/2008, -2/+184i'm also afraid of the scots:

"Even recently, in a 2005 battle in Iraq, where one hundred insurgents ambushed a group of thirty Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, the Highlanders fought the ambush. Without any ammunition, these men bayonet charged into the insurgents, surprising the insurgents so much that they retreated. The Highlanders took only three casualties (all wounded), while the insurgents had an estimated thirty dead."
nothing beats a good old-fashioned bayonet charge. - Namelessthinker, on 09/14/2008, -0/+165Thats one hell of a K/D ratio there.
- Tanktunker, on 09/14/2008, -4/+164This is because the USSR military strategy was compromised entirely of "keep marching towards that machine gun, or we'll shoot you".
- Anpheus, on 09/14/2008, -7/+159Or 300 to eliminate the entire Persian army at the Battle of Thermopylae.
Fins > Spartans? - DarkProd, on 09/14/2008, -1/+152"He preferred to use iron sights rather than telescopic sights "
He is a ***** sniper god. - stopbrorape, on 09/14/2008, -2/+149Respect to Finland.
- JohnBayne, on 09/14/2008, -3/+136Interestingly enough, Russia's underwhelming performance against Finland was one of Hitler's main reasons for turning against the Russians...which in turn led to Hitler having his b**ch thoroughly smacked up at Stalingrad, which in turn led to the allies winning the war.
So, if you want to stretch, you can thank the Finns for saving you from Hitler - Alegoo92, on 09/14/2008, -1/+129The Digg "comment of the day" and its only 11 AM?!
- friday81, on 09/14/2008, -5/+125In Soviet Russia you don't defeat small countries, small countries defeat you
- neocr0n, on 09/14/2008, -1/+112I saw something on discovery about this war and there were confirmed reports of Finish soldiers running over to tanks and jamming tree logs into the tracks. That's pretty bad ass.
- SoulDesigner, on 09/14/2008, -1/+105and the 50 with the melee.
M-M-M-M-M-Monster Kill - JakeW, on 09/14/2008, -4/+107They had such a small amount... and still won.. it's very old
- yetAnotherCroc, on 09/14/2008, -1/+103http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=sv&geocode=&q=R ...
This is where he spent the rest of his life. Supposedly "moose hunting" and "dog breeding." We all know he was simply waiting. Waiting and watching for the return of the Russians. But knowing he was there they never did dare return. - uskomaton, on 09/14/2008, -0/+102I'm from Finland, both my grandfathers were in the war.
And yes, you are correct. - darienphoenix, on 09/14/2008, -3/+103If I could dig you up 10 more times, I would.
- Dom902, on 09/14/2008, -6/+106Wow....600 000 dead or missing.
- Wandel, on 09/14/2008, -2/+96...outnumbered enemies beat you?
- aenima987, on 09/14/2008, -0/+93AND he lived to 97.
- EpicSelekta, on 09/14/2008, -1/+93I seem to remember Steven Colbert warning us about Finland last month.
- uskomaton, on 09/14/2008, -1/+84That just makes him worse :P
- hauntedchippy, on 09/14/2008, -1/+83How do you kill that which has no life?
- rockrapdude, on 09/14/2008, -2/+84Well, from what I've heard, is that they had a special section in the army who killed with knives, secretly and silently, in the night, killing Russians in their sleep. It tore down the morale of the Russians so much, that they were afraid to sleep. Snipers were good also. The guy with 500 sniper kills didn't use a scope, so he could be lower to the ground.
- ancientdinko, on 09/14/2008, -3/+85he's dead?
- Rocco03, on 09/14/2008, -1/+77Flawless victory.
- icepick, on 09/14/2008, -1/+76Finns have Sisu!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu - chrisj33, on 09/14/2008, -2/+76That's like Call of Duty ***** right there
- gmaki, on 09/14/2008, -3/+76Ahh yes but... Finland's dirty little secret is that in 1941 they participated in the invasion of Russia allied with the Nazi's.
I'm Finnish and every once in awhile I bring this fact up with family members. I haven't got a single one yet to acknowledge it though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa - JackDN, on 09/14/2008, -4/+76The fact is that the russian army was poorly motivated and badly adapted to the terrain there. Guerilla war was the main strategy of the fins as I know it...I will accept to be contradicted by a guy from Finland.
- Import98, on 09/14/2008, -7/+77That's some 300 ***** right there.
FOR FINLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - selmer, on 09/14/2008, -0/+68...the Finnish line crosses you!!!
- Stormwern, on 09/14/2008, -11/+78"Sweden contributed military supplies, cash, credits, humanitarian aid and some 8,700 Swedish volunteers prepared to fight for Finland"
Sweden would like a little bit of credit aswell. :) - icehazard, on 09/14/2008, -3/+70What the hell did they do to the 400,000 people? :S
- alclone, on 09/14/2008, -6/+73@ heartsblood
we ***** joking around boy. no need to be so serious and kill the mood - Jhiaxuz, on 09/14/2008, -3/+69Russia always had pretty ***** infantry. They were so unorganized and poor that they had very little morale. Charge forward to an almost certain death or retreat to certain death by your own countrymen.
In World War II they accounted for roughly 22 million military/civilian deaths (they had higher civilian deaths than military) and in World War I had the highest casualty rate of all nations.
They pretty much win by shear numbers but put up against a well trained army then they just fall over. - Weip, on 09/14/2008, -0/+65MONSTER KILL!
- hauntedchippy, on 09/14/2008, -2/+64Unlike killbots those machine guns don't have an upper kill limit.
- ZenMojo, on 09/14/2008, -0/+61Of course he does. The address is tattooed on his forehead.
- dsmx, on 09/14/2008, -0/+59As memory serves the finish troops were basically ski troopers while the Russians just didn't have the equipment to fight there. Coupled with Stalin being surrounded by people who agreed with rather than people who were actually any good at commanding and it was always going to be a loss for the Russians.
