Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Many Russian soldiers are refusing another assignment to Ukraine and the worst punishment they can receive is being fired (discharged). If it was really a war punishment could be severe. Russian lawyers are helping refusers fight any charges. Odd that Putski hasn’t closed that loophole. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Surprised that would make a difference. Can a servicemember refuse combat service because of nomenclature? Wasn't Korea a "police action" officially? None of our wars have been "declared" as such for generations. ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' You're asking about American soldiers; the story is about Russian soldiers. It's a giant logical leap to assume that soldiers in every army worldwide fall under the same regulations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 (edited) Sooo, I was talking with my dear tovarisch Boris Ivanovich Vladimirski and we were knocking back shots of wodka. When he was ‘in his cups’ so to speak Boris waxed philosophical and professed, “Is all part of Comrade Stalin’s Master plan I tell you. The West will believe the Russian Army to be incompetent, will join together in an alliance, will reduce the size of their armies, and Mother Russia will rise up and crush them, roll them into the ground. Brilliant!” this was a spoof! Edited May 14 by Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the money wasted abroad, we could have a good start towards a socialist utopia here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
