--- "One of the great tragedies of war is we have good common men on both side who are controlled by manipulative, power hungry, amoral politicians."

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

from what I can tell a Ukr (sniper possibly as the Russ picks up a scoped rifle) is wounded. The Russ with the LMG takes him prisoner and gives him…? morphine? As they are struggling back Ukr mortars shamefully take them under fire (perhaps they can’t tell who they are) but eventually he is carried to the rear. I would point out many countries have summarily executed snipers in the past like the Red Army in WW2…also ALL German MG-42 gunners, lot of people don’t realize how blood thirsty the Red Army was.
