      Probably not that easy, at least not for the individual soldier. Afaik many of them are pretty much forced there.

        There seem to be a lot that do it for the money. I hope everyone who signs up to kill for money gets torn apart by a drone.

        While there are reports of people being sold into military slavery or fooled to sign the contract, majority are there voluntarily - whether following an ideology, desire to avoid prison or simply money.

        As sad as it is that people have to make those choices, they still made them and given how pootin has weaponised political apathy, they also don’t care about their actions until they meet a drone.

          @doo @nailbar You’re not wrong. Whatever reasons they had, they crossed into our land with a rifle, and that choice has consequences. Out here, the moment they meet a drone or a trench line, all the excuses disappear. We’re fighting because we have no other choice this is our home.
