I was being sarcastic. My statement is accurate based on actual recent combat performance in the Ukraine. The Russians even intentionally fired their own artillery at their own very unsteady, and shrinking by desertion, unit in the Ukraine which was named as spetznaz but was really just infantry. All of which comported with Russian military tradition.
Nahh, I was just looking at the actual definitions.
If your own guys shelled you wouldn’t that make desertion MORE likely?
Colonel Idiot who downed the airliner seems to have disappeared. I don’t see Putin as being too loving and forgiving over a fuckup like that. They may have fed him to sharks or some equally nasty “reward”.
