I honestly feel bad for them. They almost look like they didn't want any part in this and were just completely accepting or even embracing death. Who knows if they even really wanted anything to do with this or were just forced by Putin et. al to fight in this sensless war. I understand ofc this is just a part of war, and I am fully in support of Ukraine defending their sovereignty, but damn. This... is hard to watch nonetheless.
They sign contracts to fight the evil ukrainians that they have every right to destroy. That is what they believe. The same way Nazis believed they were really better people and had the right and obligation to destroy others.
War sucks. Especially for the lower classes.
Exactly my feeling. It's heartwrenching to see how the first one accepts his faith. On a human-to-human basis I mean, and ignoring the context.
