Russian stategic forces
>after us only silence
"Others do what they can, engineers do what they want."

What is the context of that motto?
>>30607903
It doesnt make any sense
>>30607903
Is sounds like an horrendous corruption of: "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

I dunno, makes sense to me. The implication is the engineers do whatever the fuck they want because they're godlike compared to the grunts and pogs
In France we have
Marine commandos : Kill and take the sail
Artillery motto : The last argument of kings
1st Artillery Regiment : Jupiter's thunderbolts protect our children
3rd Artillery Regiment : At the Sainte Barbe, long live the bombard
Engineers : Sometimes destroy, often build, always serve
15th Mountain Battalion : Also worthy of being shown to our enemies and our friends

Pretty much nailed it.
Then again, rumor has it that the phrase was originally muttered by an observer at a certain field exercise where the engineers spent most of their time fooling around because the officer in charge had no real use for them.

Ok, that is legitimately terrifying, not in the sense of "fear us" but in the sense of "pray we are never needed". STRATAIRCOM had the less ominous (until you think about it) "Peace is our Profession"
