The main reason for the absence of medical evacuation is simple and gruesome: The fighting is just too intense.
It can take a day or even two for soldiers to get in and out of the fiercest fighting spots – killing any hopes of medics coming to save the wounded.
Left alone at the positions, the soldiers often have to pull out their comrades on their own under heavy shelling, sometimes walking five to seven kilometers to the nearest evacuation points, where vehicles take them to makeshift hospitals.
When soldiers carry their wounded out, the group is easy to spot – and it immediately becomes easy prey to Russian first-person view (FPV) drones and artillery.
But the libs told me we would never use Ukraine as cannon fodder to just weaken Russia.
What an absolutely disgusting and idiotic take on the war started solely by the fascist and imperialist state of Russia.
There are one and only one people to blame for the deaths in Ukraine - Russia.
They chose to steal territory that is not theirs, they chose to murder people in their own homes. There was never any threat to Russia. This is purely about Russia’s desire to steal and murder.
You trying to frame American support for Ukraine as using them as human fodder is absolutely pathetic. You deserve to live in Russia.
Flag them and move on. That account is one of the dumbest tankies here on lemmy. No argument made will be in good faith.
Not really.
Every western military commander has been saying Ukraine is an investment for the West.
None of them said Ukraine could win.
You’re just upset he’s saying things that go against your indoctrination. You’re arguing with yourself more than him, really.
Aside from your three paragraphs of ad hominems you forgot to include the part where you disprove that the we used Ukrainians as cannon fodder.
There were peace talks around 2022 and America and the UK told Ukraine to deny the negotiations because “we 100% got them fam no cap on a stack”
Then we gave them our stockpile of old mortars while sending F35’s to israel. And after depleting that we’re now abandoning Ukraine.
The conservatives are voting for Ukraine to be outgunned and unequipped, put blame where it belongs.
They voted to block bombs for israel as well while it was bundled with the Ukraine bill. Genocide Joe bypassed congress and secretly sent israel arms anyways.
It’s difficult to understand how people still fall for these theatrics.
Yeah, they don’t really live in reality.
