I understand being scared, but it would be hard for me to abandon my country in its time of need. Not for the government, but for the people that live there.
ETA: quite a few down votes, no one explaining why though
There are plenty of reasons that make a person unsuited for combat besides fear. The unwillingness to kill another person is a big one. The awareness that you simply don’t have that kind of thing in you. Seriously, there’s no call for you to smear them like that.
As if those Ukranian men aren’t being forced into infantry when conscripted, give me a break. You really think they are given a choice what role they want?
Ukraine has shown extensive combat effectiveness via their use of rocket propelled munitions, I’m sure more and more of these individuals will be trained on HIMARS and Patriot systems now that the US has permitted their use against targets inside of Russia
these aren’t people, these are monsters invading your homeland
If you care so much, why don’t you go shed your blood for the nazis, collaborator?? But if I say the kind of shit you say about Russia, about settler-assed white Amerikans, bet my left eye you’d start getting up in arms about reverse racism, right? Go join your leader and the rest of the fascist horde he still ‘inspires’ to this day.
Many people cannot, correct. And that does not reflect poorly upon them simply because you can’t understand it. That’s why boot camp weeds out so many people who volunteered but still can’t hack it. Many people don’t even realize they don’t have what it takes. And you think it’s a bad thing for wiser people to recognize it in themselves?
I can’t conceive of someone so fearful of war that they’d willingly leave others out to dry in this fashion while hiding behind the forces of another nation.
Well it seems like you think you know these people you claim you don’t know. For instance, you keep accusing them of being fearful, and that being the only reason you can think of why people would not be willing to go to war.
Can you think of no other reason why people would be unsuited for the military and combat? Because I assure you, boot camp weeds out people who volunteer, and that the military finds unsuitable. Do you think cowardice is the only thing they look for?
Basic training was the easiest part of my military career. The recruits that went home did so because they got hypothermia or cracked the tops of their humerus, not because they couldn’t hack it mentally. If they wanted to weed out those unfit, then the individual who this article is about would be disqualified or an RTT in basic. I was discharged at the end of my contract because of physical injuries, so I understand being considered unqualified for military service.
I cannot think of any reason I wouldn’t defend my home, friends, and family against a foreign invader.
If the US was being invaded and my family’s lives were at risk, you can bet your ass I’d be doing everything I could to defend my country.

It’s hard to take such declarations seriously over internet.
War bad (Unironically)
Naturally war is bad, but you can’t stand and defend your own people?

Perhaps you lack imagination.
Perhaps, or perhaps people like this just aren’t the types of people I associate with
