“” They are defending their country. That gives them a much higher willingness to tolerate adversity””

“That’s why the Communists won the war in Vietnam. And I’m speaking as someone who was there for one year.”

Whose country? Russians have lived, settled, and built Ukraine longer than Europeans in the Americas.

[I spent my 4 years in the USAF fighting the battle of the chow line and fixing radar equipment on a cold hill in Alaska so that we could eyeball the Russkies.]

Which site were Your stationed at?

I spent a year remote at Campion AFS, way back when.

“Russians have lived, settled, and built Ukraine longer than Europeans in the Americas.”

The Kievan Rus maybe, not the Muscovites.

Palin was right.

You CAN eyeball the Russkies from a cold hill in Alaska.

I was at Campion for 6 months after 6 mo duty at Galena. All in 1958-59. Discharged at McChord AFB and then earned BS and MS in college. Campion had the best midnight chow.

Only a Russian propaganda patsy wouldn't be interested in what the newly mobilized Russian soldiers have to say.

Video with machine translation of newly mobilized Russian soldiers complaining about their situation.

Another video.

Video of families of the conscripted complaining. The machine translated text says:

Residents of Sverdlovsk Serov, through the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers, recorded a video message about the plight of their mobilized relatives near Liman in the 55th motorized rifle brigade.

The appeal says that:

– not only food, but also water is not brought to the positions: it is given out at 1.5 liters per 2 people for 2 days;

- all "humanitarian" aid is selected by officers;

- "training" was reduced to 2 days of shooting under cameras;

- the mobilized do not have weapons, except for small arms;

- the brigade has a tank, but it has no fuel;

- the dead soldiers bury themselves, the authorities call them "missing".

At the same time, relatives demand not to return their loved ones, but “to take measures and provide them with the necessary supplies."

For those who don't like to see videos from Russians or Ukrainians on CNN or HotAir, you can see them on Twitter or Telegram. You can track down the original posters of the videos if you want to.

Think this could be Ukraine Propaganda? Possible? Think Russia—who only called up reservists—would send people into combat with No training? They have lots of weapons and what they don’t have they can get from Iran—even if they are old Soviet style submachine guns. WE shall see in the Projected Russian attack on Thanksgiving.

I ate at an air force chow hall in Hof, Germany once. We went on a border tour with the DDR. Amazing food. 1000 times better than army chow. I was so jealous.

The complete opposite of what we all watched or heard from third party sourcing today

You don’t appreciate service chow because you never spent time in a concentration camp. When I had my first meal at Lackland AFB I thought that I would have to pay for it because it was so delicious. I thought of my poor folks in the old country sharing a hamburger and some french fries.

Hi.

“You don’t appreciate service chow because you never spent time in a concentration camp. “

Ever been to Ft. Jackson in July and August?

You will think you have been in a concentration camp.

Oh, and the food sucked.

“A Ukrainian servicewoman has praised our mobilized soldiers’ fighting ability and criticizes the Ukrainian side for underestimating them:

Schmucks, eh?
Bums, eh?

Are you civilians and all the rest of you fools or what?
Do you really think that our people are dying at the hands of inept mobilised troops,
that our people are so degenerate that in some areas they are almost dying by the company at the hands of inexperienced mobilised troops?

You’re really f**ked up…”

“The Nazi command has deployed Right Sector units to prevent the Ukrainian Armed Forces from retreating from Artemivsk (Bakhmut). Up to 200 Right Sector fighters have been deployed in this direction and have been ordered to stop the retreat of units of the 93rd Army Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces”

“The 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine paid dearly for yesterday’s attempt to attack. The situation is close to rebellion, they refuse to go forward.

Berislav direction.”

“I think, despite the intensification of exchanges, the number of Ukrainian prisoners of war is growing and growing. I think their number is approaching 8000.”

“The average lifespan of a Ukrainian mobilized recruit now is approximately 10 days — from the time he is grabbed off the street to the time he falls on the battlefield.
Foreign mercenaries—which by and large have become regular Polish and Romanian (and other NATO countries’) troops masquerading as “volunteers” — loath the idea of being used as cannon fodder and behave as regular colonial expeditionary forces.”
https://t.me/Slavyangrad/17146

“The Ukrainian command continues to throw its soldiers into new suicidal attacks in the area of the Donetsk airport.
As a result of the competent actions of the scouts of the DPR special forces battalion, the enemy suffered heavy losses,
and now the approaches to our positions are literally strewn with the bodies of destroyed Ukrainian militants.”
