    From the beginning, we’ve heard stories about Russian soldiers being shot for not following through. I’d like to think that I’d choose the right thing and walk away, but no one knows until they’re in that position

      That not necessarily just a Russian Military thing thats just a military thing. “Desertion in the face of the enemy” is punishable by death under multiple military codes. Including the USs UCMJ.

      Get shot for being a good slave soldier, or maybe get shot for being a good person.

      Tough decision for a coward.

        This is very easy to say on the Internet. Things change when bullets are cracking around you and stuff is blowing up all around. I’d also like to say I’d do the right thing in this case, but I’m also home, not being conscripted and pushed into the meat grinder.

          They’re also easy to say for people that know they’re not baby raping murderers, but maybe you’re not so sure of your moral compass
