Ok Rusty, I'll bite. What did it mean concretely to defend the SU but 
"not give political or military support" to the imperialist allies of the 
SU for someone in the US? Did you join the US Army and go to fight? Is that 
what you mean by military support? Did you politically support the war 
effort against fascism or did you oppose the war? Is that political support?
