SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - Sergeant; Rattle snakes, rats, Russians, and Americans all share one commonality.
You can always trust a rattle snake to act like a rattle snake. You can always trust a rat to act like a rat. You can always trust a Russian to act like a Russian. You can always trust an American to act like an American.
The "trick" is in knowing what that "like a ..." is going to be BEFORE you jump to uninformed conclusions about what to do. If you don't know what a rattle snake (rat [Russian {American}]) is going to do in response to a stimulus then don't poke them with a stick just to find out.
