The 77’th in WW2 had 200 days of combat, with 1449 KIA, and 5935 WIA (via wiki). A fully staffed infantry division in WW2 would have 14000 men in it. So they must have had about a 50% casualty rate over theose 200 days. Old age and treachery are indeed advantages, but they do not make you immune.

War has always been a young man’s game. That is just physical reality. I would point out that infantry contains the word “infant” in it. For reasons observational in nature, I imagine. That said, the men of the 77’th were brave and honorable men. God bless them.

As for the AZOVs, I have no use for them. They are cartoon descendants of the fascists our country fought in WW2; scum. The sooner the AZOVs are wiped out, the better off the world will be.
