Read “a farewell to arms”. That kind of thing happens. Or you can read red badge of courage. Or many books about the Vietnam war. Officers shoot retreating soldiers. And if a company retreats they shoot the officers. War is about life and death. You fight or die. You don’t retreat.
Or just watch the full version of “Downfall”.
Those with nowhere to retreat to will shoot those that do.
And another thing about war is that everyone involved lies. And they lie almost continuously.
What, from Biden’s old man’s proxy war?
There’s not a lot of support for this war in Ukraine. Zelensky is not letting civilians out, is using them as human shields, and is drafting (impressing) teenagers off the streets.
But as long as it makes Biden feel like an hombre, it’s all good.
