They’ve got videos of Ukrainian women in trenches shooting it out with Russians. It’s over.

Davydov is making money off his draft-dodging, while expecting other suckers to fight in his place. Like old men and teenaged girls.

Will anyone of them fight to save his own life, if he has no other options?

The ratio of combat soldiers to combat support and combat service support in the US Army is about 1:15 or more. And though they *hate* to admit it, the myth that “every soldier is an infantryman” is obviously false.

And while CS and CSS soldiers *might* fight, it is usually because the enemy is better than expected, your forces are at least temporarily losing, and most of all, your leadership is not as good as it should be.

The flip side of this is “combat stress”. A soldier with combat stress is a casualty. They not only can’t do their job, they inhibit the ability of other soldiers to do their jobs. As often as not, it is a function of time on the battlefield.

Many realize they cannot hack battle even before they are in battle. Some can fight in a battle, but if they survive, that is it for them in combat. Some can go for a week or two, but that is it for them. Typically soldiers can last for a month or two, and some for as long as six months. Then there are a very few who seem immune to battle fatigue.

If soldiers are pushed into combat beyond their limits, their number of casualties skyrockets. They become “cannon fodder”. This is why morale is critical on the battlefield.

“Fatigue makes cowards of us all.” A LOT of CSS is based on giving soldiers “a break” from combat stress, and is proven to extend their functional time on the battlefield.

A masterpiece of CSS was in The Second Battle of Fallujah, nineteen years ago. In grueling hot temperatures, soldiers had time limits before they were rotated to cooling tents, rehydrated, fed, slept and relaxed. Thus they were able to keep up pressure on their enemy around the clock.

All the enemy had were drugs. And it showed.

Dang. Looked through the comments so far to see if any of the pro-Zelensky apologists would be here, to say that the BBC World Service was one of the "putinistas" or something.

Highly recommend scanning through the thousands of comments to that BBC YouTube page.

It would be pretty cool to have access to the balances in the Zelenskyyyy and Bidenskyyyyy bank accounts once this Ukraine fiasco is over. The number one reason for this Ukraine/Ruzzki fiasco was to distract the ignorant here in this country from the invasion of sewage flowing into America. And you can take that to the bank.

How sad. I have an idea. The phony freeper Uke Intel propagandists can all sign up. As dedicated as they are I’m surprised they haven’t already. It is incumbent on all who see Russia as an existential threat to pick up a rifle and proceed to the front.

“Ukrainians” don’t want to be killed by “Russians,” but “Russians” love to be killed by “Ukrainians.” So far, 300,000 “Russians” have had their desire fulfilled.
