Semyon BUDENNY ... thinking in cavalry.

Please, do not repeat this liberastic BS. It is lie. Since mid 80s until now we've learn so many other lies. Now it is not easy find the truth.
Though I will not argue about other statements. But if he was that bad, how he managed to survive "chistki"? Please, do not repeat that tyrant Stalin killed all "best of the best" like Tukhachevskiy (sic!), and only mediocre left.

Semyon BUDENNY does not desserve to be with real heroes of the WWII. He has been the worst CIC the USSR ever had, he was only thinking in cavalry. This guy led 1,5 million red army soldiers to german prisonners camp.

Kinda yeah, i know your submariners type don't like horsies, but Budenny is not that arse that was painted lately, and Soviet cavalry (horse cavalry) was delivering from 1941 to 1945 with maybe the best frag ratio. If you realy interested in this guy, read boring historians, not sensationalist ones

Are you colleague, contemporary of Semyon Budenny or the Expert in Military History of the Soviet Army? If not that sitting and be silent...

He was real Hero of WW1and WWII. He was on of participants of defense of Moscow in 1941. And about "led" Soviet soldier to Germans camps... We can talk about that for all Soviet leaders... If we talk about Allied soldiers in "Market Garden" that Montgomery and Eisenhower "let" the soldiers to Germans "Sanatoriums"... Or... Paulus "let" German soldiers to Soviet "tree felling" in Siberia... It's rubbish! We can talk that about each commander Soviet, German, French, Polish, Finnish, Japanese, US, UK... Enough?
Budyonny exaggerated The Cavalry role in war, but at the same time supported army modernisation, suggested to create incorporated units of cavalry and mechanized. Do you know about Cavalry in US Army? How many US Cavalry unt. was in Europe in 1943-45? (in RU note) Do you know about 8 SS-Kavallerie-Division „Florian Geyer“?

Anyway you talklies and doesn't know what talk about... Just read historical documents (not Propagation of SU and anti-Soviet) and open your mind.
Or read Wikipedia in Russian Language that not in English with "filtration" for especially Foreign readers...

Budenny was stupid and he didn't realize (on time) how serious the situation in june 1941 was. Stalin should have executed this poor guy.
Thanks for the links and happy Victory day.
