'SpongeBob SquarePants' puts some pep in Russian soldiers' step

Seeing Syrian soldiers getting down to Usher amid the strife of civil war was disconcerting, but this development from the military-entertainment complex is one we can really get behind. It seems as if the Russian armed services doesn't need any "Hup, 2, 3, 4" when it has the theme song to "SpongeBob SquarePants" to keep its members marching through the day. We can't make out if these happy soldiers are also chanting, "If nautical nonsense be something you wish, then drop on the deck and flop like a fish," but whatever it is, it makes us want to enlist. If only SpongeBob had been around 70 years ago, the Cold War might never have happened.
