Do you think Slavs are tough? Non-Racist answers only.?

So I was reading a lot of my Slavic culture and apparently, the Russians have never surrendered a battle. If they lost they lost with pride unlike America. For example, the Russians fought the Chechens and came in with their guns blazing not knowing about the harsh mountain and they still got more kills then the well prepared enemy. They invaded a 2nd time and slaughtered almost the enemy's whole army. Americans have been in Iraq for years and haven't gotten enough kills to match the 1st battle Russia has fought, seriously my people (Not russians) only have a death total of 4 in Iraq and they have all the weapons of the Soviet union (And their own) They rolled in with their tanks and mobile howitzers and slaughtered the Terrorists while keeping the death total low. So how can Slavs not be tough, I mean they are built for war. Americans think they have the best military because it's the most expensive, but the AN-94 russian rifle outmatches the newest M-16 Variant in everything except price (2x M16 Cost) In WW2 Russia caused the German's to receive Over 73% of casualties during the war.
