Um; anyone ever heard of American boot camp?

My God! Is everyone a woke pussy these days? War is tough. It’s hard and dehumanizing. The sooner the young people prepare for that level of hardship the better.

Having said that; Russia should be able to outfit the wannabe soldiers with weapons and uniforms at the very least but there have been many wars fought with civilian recruits using their own weapons.

Take the American Revolutionary War as one example.

“We’re in the Army now.
We’re not behind a plow.
We’ll never get rich diggin’ a ditch.
We’re in the Army now….”

They are going back to the glory days of Stalins Red Army, and maybe the Tsarist armies.

Some of those young Russian wives are hot! I suspect they will be single soon.

Nicholas, there’s nothing new under the sun and this doesn’t justify USA citizens paying for the Ukrainians to fight our war.

“We’ve spent an absurd amount of money just to feed ourselves, not to mention on ammunition.”


That they have to buy their own ammo says a lot about Russian Army logistics and its attitude toward its forcibly conscripted citizens.
