Chijoke ” This is just to play into your emotions. Every soldier is aware of his job which is to defend the interest of those that he swore allegiance. He was aware of all his involvements no one made him do anything he chose to fight for his country if not he should have resigned as a soldier. Forget all this media propaganda meant to work on your emotions in other for you to see Russia as a wicked country. The young man is a Russian soldier and he signed up for it! “

Obinna ” Heartbreaking to see a fellow young man being thrown into the field to consume or be consumed. It’ s very sad. It should be made compulsory for a president leader to lead his country into battle once he declares war. I believe if it is made like that, some senseless wars will never be fought. “

Of COURSE this appeals to emotion . That is human. Emotion should not totally rule . As to dismissing contrition and totally blaming the grunt soldier , they have conscription in Russia .
Presence in Ukraine may not be a choice . Being in the army may not have been a choice . He may NOT have ” signed up ” for this . Even if drafted a soldier may find himself where he doesn’t want to be . Think of the young American “advisors” who were sent to Viet Nam …not a war but an “advisory mission” or later a “conflict” . Young Americans fou d themselves someplace the did not want to be with no way out . They could not go home . If they refused to follow orders or went over the hill they were liable to be court marshaled. A penalty up to execution is on the books. There was no path to just freely doing what they agreed with
