    Should have stayed home. Yes, it’s that easy.

    It was his choice to die in this shit. He wanted to kill people and got killed himself. Good.

      Choice…

      Oh thats what it is being drafted. Choice. Or being given the “choice”: stay in prison with a few more years added or take this chance at freedom after a year while being paid.

      Choice is what politicians have.

        If you choose to go kill innocents in an invaded land to “earn” your freedom, you are the type of person that should stay in prison.

      There’s a high chance this wasn’t his choice at all. Due to depleted forces men on both sides of the conflict are getting press ganged into the military, and at least on the Russian side there’s a lot of info out there of unit leaders taking bribes to place recruits into safer positions. Don’t have enough cash, you go straight to the front lines.

      I know. I don’t know his situation. These up-close videos just make everything more personal compared to the cutaway shot at the end.
