That story of the Marines....emphasizes the point of why the Russians never managed to conquer the Finns during the Winter War, whilst taking on a loss ratio that would have consumed most smaller European nations' populations whole.  Gotta hand it to Hitler, he recruited the Finns by simply walking in and saying "Germany is going to kick Russia's ass."  They hated Hitler...but they hated the Russians even more.  That wasn't a snowball fight....that was after-school small-unit tactics training.  :)
