    I’m sorry, I can’t agree with that statement for several reasons.

    1. the vast majority of military members are not direct combat roles in this day and age. There are plenty of roles where one isn’t infantry, be it intelligence, air defense, logistics, maintenence, etcetera.

    2. these aren’t people, these are monsters invading your homeland that will subject you to their government at best and slaughter you at less than best, and far worse at their worst. If you can’t pull a trigger to defend your family and friends from that, but you’ll leave them out to dry in front of an invading force while you hide behind the forces of other countries, where do your principles lie?

      As if those Ukranian men aren’t being forced into infantry when conscripted, give me a break. You really think they are given a choice what role they want?

        Ukraine has shown extensive combat effectiveness via their use of rocket propelled munitions, I’m sure more and more of these individuals will be trained on HIMARS and Patriot systems now that the US has permitted their use against targets inside of Russia

      If you care so much, why don’t you go shed your blood for the nazis, collaborator?? But if I say the kind of shit you say about Russia, about settler-assed white Amerikans, bet my left eye you’d start getting up in arms about reverse racism, right? Go join your leader and the rest of the fascist horde he still ‘inspires’ to this day.
