Ukraine Russia War The Average Soldier's Perspective EP: 1
Task and Purpose ^ | Feb 24, 2022 | Chris Capelluto

What is your average Ukrainian and Russian Infantryman thinking?

What are the different perspectives on these two different sides of this war? Russian troops are deploying to various parts of Ukraine. A full scale invasion is underway. This is combat on a level not seen in Europe since World War II.

This world crisis is an emergency that needs to be addressed. This video is my attempt to articulate my thoughts and beliefs about what the average soldier on the ground is thinking. This is the regular infantryman's perspective.


TOPICS: Government; Military/Veterans; Politics

Chris Capelluto is a former mechanized infantryman who served in Iraq. He is currently posting videoes on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This is the first in the series, posted the day the invasion started. I will post the series over the next few days.

The average soldier’s perspective is “ I’m no fortunate son”.

Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 2: For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
