    Yeah you’d think. But in the boonies of Russia people use horse and cart next to modern vehicles. The permiation of what is going on is probably not as good as you would think.

    Ofcourse this is offset by caskets being brought back home, but desperation and poverty are pretty big motivators. If you would make it out alive after a year of serving at that salary you would be set for life. So it’s like playing the lottery, with your life. Real life Squid Game. It’s terrible.

      Except they are not being payed for the most part. No food, medical, or equipment either. It’s mind blowing how stupid and cowardly they are. If any one of them had any self worth they would turn their weapons on their leaders.
