    That’s not really how conscription works, and especially not how it works in Russia. But on a larger scale, absolutely!

      I can tell you that if you give me a gun to fight in my neighbor country where I have nothing to gain and high probability of dying I will just shoot every ranked officier i see. It is exactly what said a russian lawyer that defend russian dissidents. They never call him to go to war thanks to that.

        I’m betting you’re not alone, which is why you likely won’t get a gun until you are quite far away from any officers with barrier troops between you and the officers. The lesson seems like its: kill all visible Russian officers before you get a gun.

      Haven’t we seen Russian men refusing to serve have 2 year prison sentences? That seems like a much better choice than 4 days of training before being killed in a meatwave 7 days after being deployed.
