    Most of them are there for the money. Also, nobody gets executed or what not, most we know about is jail time. So stop defending those soldiers.

      They don’t even get the full basic equipment and have to pay for it themselves, what are you talking about? I’m not talking about professional soldiers, mercenaries etc, but conscripted civilians.

      nobody gets executed

      Do you have any sources to disprove the many sources that have been saying otherwise for some time? For example.

        Soldiers at the front refusing to attack in meat waves <-> draft evasion / … When they are at the very front they are well beyond drafting.
