Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 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.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 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. ' 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.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 How much have the other allies sent? When I see something, it seems to be just a few million. We sure do get played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
