Can't say I feel any empathy for the guy, but the gal to tell an employee to go become cannon fodder on a war you cannot possibly win is all sorts of fucked up.
What kind of loser actually listens to someone telling them that though. Yeah, the boss is a jackass, but he doesn't have the power to send him to Ukraine. He should have been the one to tell his boss to fuck off. Now he can't cause he's dead.
So there was this war called World War I and several million young men signed up to die in the mud in France because of reasons that I still can't comprehend after 35 years of living and readying history.
I didn't get how WW1 even happened until I heard people who previously struck me as completely non political started talking about how we should do a war because of a treaty (there isn't even any treaty)
Number 1 hard agree. Number 2 basically Canada has a history of actually training a lot of good snipers but when I served every battalion had at least one platoon of these guys, so 20ish/300 infantry was this level of sniper. This guy was not the crawl three days in, wait three days, take one shot types, they are usually part of a recon detachment or a heavy weapons detachment, not some lone wolf types.
Found an article on this guy before he died, some notes of interest:
There is something profoundly sad about being convinced by your literal petit-bouge boss to go and die in a pointless war, somehow more so than usual.

see this is why we need unions. The union would tell your boss to fuck off if he tried to draft you

it feels like a body snatchers horror movie
the kind of loser that needs a union to tell them to stop listening to someone telling them that
Depending on what generation Canadian they are, that’s probably gonna be a yikes from me
My thoughts exactly lol, the younger generations are still pretty right wing in my neck of the woods
Looks like we're going through a period of ideological pruning.
Going to war for your boss's country while he sits in yours behind a NATO shield is pretty funny. Takes peasant mindset to subject mindset.
"He's not a great sniper. But he's okay. Pretty average. So let's send him to help an underdog army of rag tag civilians and right wing nationalists.

NO ONE WANTS TO WORK ANYMORE
We sent our most gullible interns to die in a hail of cruise missiles on the other side of the planet
