What they must be telling these sorry bastards to make them think this is normal soldiering.

I think he knows there's no hope of medical help. From vids I've seen, his "buddy" will come up, shoot him, and take his lunch.

Chooses to go out on his own terms

I just can't imagine heading into a meat wave against flying robots alongside soldiers I trust that little.

Like why not just take out an officer or mutiny at that point? I can't tell if they've got too much nihilism or not enough.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They use blocking units in the back that are better feed and better rested/safer to stop deserters. They all know this so the act of mutiny is harder

Well on the bright side, at least the Mordor approach isn't helping them retake Kursk.

Option A: frag a sergeant major and maybe a lieutenant, get shot in the face.

Option B: Take some shrapnel to the ass, place a grenade under your chin.

Not sure why would nihilist even be there.

He'll be fine! All he needs is a good enema

He was already dead after first drop, these drops are full of shrapnel, so he just used fast-forward button. As for doing suicide attacks, that's just how they roll.

Poor fuck had that planned out. Just tucked it under his chin like he had been practicing and ended it.

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought the same thing... at that point, when you're practicing/mentally preparing to commit suicide if you're injured, I honestly don't understand why you don't go frag an officer and at least take one of the assholes putting you through this with you...

There's a chance their families would go to jail.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also there’s torture to consider

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Russia and NK do brainwash their soldiers that way, so it makes sense.

Foregrip, folding stock, suppressor...

This dude is kitted out way more than comrade conscriptovich. Special forces maybe?
