I understand being scared, but it would be hard for me to abandon my country in its time of need. Not for the government, but for the people that live there.
ETA: quite a few down votes, no one explaining why though
There are plenty of reasons that make a person unsuited for combat besides fear. The unwillingness to kill another person is a big one. The awareness that you simply don't have that kind of thing in you. Seriously, there's no call for you to smear them like that.
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
bot behavior
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.
