    Increasingly of the opinion that ground troops only exist to give enemy artillery something to shoot at

      And on the 100 year anniversary of 1914, no less. Edit: lol I can't math, this morning. I'd delete it but actually it's kinda funny I made such a bone headed response.

    There aren’t enough volunteers

    Ok right at the first sentence, we have a fundamental disconnect here.

    Are they volunteers? All those videos of people being pulled into vans by state security? That's volunteering?

    American propaganda is incredible. Only a couple paragraphs later they mention the draft.

    So which is it? Voluntary, or a draft?

    Has there been much in Ukraine in way of anti-war protests? I've heard there have been some but it doesn't seem like there's an organized anti-war or even anti-conscription movement, although that could be due to the western media bubble

      I get the impression most of the people who are anti-conscription have fled the country.

        Well the conscripts maybe, but there should still be a base of anti-conscription women within the country (widows, spouses, etc)
