While the Biden administration is sending another $100 million to Ukraine, these old Ukrainian men are being 'motivated' to fight the Russian army.

It’s amusing that the bro will continue to “wall o’ text” us until the Ukrainian front lines collapse.
Total US aid to Ukraine -- military, humanitarian plus financial -- is currently put at circa $113 billion over about two years, roughly $55 billion per year or around 6% of our defense budget.
About half of our aid is old hardware which would have been scrapped soon anyway.
So our actual costs are far less than you claim here.
As for Ukrainian casualties, the numbers are indeed huge, but still far from "an entire generation".
Ukraine's adult population is circa 20 million, roughly half of them males, of course.
Of those, the US government estimates around 200,000 total casualties, including 70,000 killed in action.
That was as of August, after 18 months of war, today's numbers might be correspondingly more.
But the key fact which matters here is that Ukrainians all share a kindred spirit with our own Founders, especially Patrick Henry, most famous for declaring "give me liberty or give me death".
I'd say anyone who can't at least sympathize with them has some kind of sickness going on in their own souls.
Do you?
