LOL thumbsup dude!
Will add some more stuff learned from the movie:
14) There was no Georgian attack on Tskhinval leading to casualties among Ossetian civilians and Russian peacekeepers. In fact, there was NOTHING going on in Tskhinval, and in South Ossetia in general, during the entire war. The only civilian casualties were on Georgian side.
15) Georgian infantry are so leet they can take out any number of Russian/Ossetian soldiers without breaking a sweat, as well as blow up tanks and shoot down Mi-24 attack choppers with a single LAW. They TOTALLY could have stopped the "Russian invasion", they just... didn't want to I guess?! (o_O)
16) War ended b/cause Russians took pity on Georgians (!? I kid you not it's in the movie!)
17) When your opponent takes pity on you and decides to leave instead of finishing you off, it's a good idea to hold a big celebration & declare it a smashing victory over the enemy!
18) Every Russian soldier is worth 4 regular soldiers, cuz in the movie they say Russian forces are "40,000 strong", yet only 10,000 Russian troops actually entered Georgia!?
19) Using laser-guided anti-tank missiles against log cabins and civilian apartment blocks with no sign of enemy activity - i.e. just for the fun of it - is a good way to utilize a fleet of expensive helicopter gunships! After all, Russia is so damn rich it can afford blowing up sheep with high-precision munitions!
20) Kazaks look like professional criminals who spent most of their life in prison & have the tattoos to prove it! Also, they shoot old ladies and cut throats of villagers for no apparent reason other than evulz.
21) In Russian Army, deserters are tortured with sharp metal instruments!?
22) If a guy is totally loyal to your cause to the point of betraying his friends, and just brought you valuable information critical to your mission, it's a good idea to kill his daughter. In fact, it's such a good idea that it merits going out of your way to ambush said daughter with a sniper rifle, and shoot her TWICE... instead of shooting enemy soldiers or the goddam journalist who's the source of all your trouble!
23) When you exchange a hostage for something you want, it's a good idea to let the hostage go BEFORE verifying that the thing you want is actually brought to the meeting.
24) Before shooting someone in the head at close range, it's good manners to give them a long hard kiss. Even if you're both male.
God knows I could go on and on, the movie is full of this stuff!

Humor fails here, because some statements - amazing as they are - are actually also correct. Here's some
1) Sorta. Out of most countries around, Georgia is quite advanced
2) True. He did say that, although he meant mostly Baltics
3) False. Problematic is actually Georgia allowing western oil pipeline to go through it's territory
4) Sort of true. Other reason is long enough to make 10 movies.
5) Pretty much true. Not puppets, but in spite of good relations, small nations can be traded, just like 70 years ago. See: Angela Merkel
7) Sort of true. Legal draft age is 18 in Russia, but I imagine year or two younger can volunteer with parents' consent. Georgian war was mostly volunteers.
8) Absolutely true. Internet is full of looting videos from georgian war
11) Haha, true
12) Sort of true. In hopes for NATO protection and goodwil, small countries such as Georgia make great effort to be useful in co-operation, especially since they can provide very few troops
13) Sort of true. All post-soviet countries try to look more western
20) Plausible. From many books on russian wars I've read, it's usually that battalions rarely have solid plan of action and what happens depends on situtation and sobriety of CO-s
21) Very possible. Dedovchina still roams freely in russian army. Internet is full of mistreatment of soldiers by their officers.

33. If you get knocked in the face, don't bother taking the one second it would take to wipe the blood off. Just leave it on indefinitely.
34. War is like an old whore apparently. This joke never gets old.
35. There was an international Western news media conspiracy to only report the Kremlin party line in August 2008, for some reason.
36. Teenage Russian soldiers make great Deux Ex Machinas when you're in a tight spot.
