Aw Canon man. Did you think Ukrainian men would be allowed to two-step out of the country?

That's not at all unheard of especially in a war like this where your city is slowly being surrounded and besieged.

In the early days of our republic every male from 16-60 was conscripted into the local militia.

I wonder of these guys who are trying to skip the country how many ever plan to return once someone else has done the dying and suffering to hang on to whatever is left of Ukraine?

Somehow I highly doubt they'll get a warm welcome if they do.

That's a little different from being ripped out of a bus at gunpoint and sent to a hot war.

The only difference is the technology available.

In the colonial eara Johnny would get jerked off his horse, given a musket and put on the wall or even shot trying to leave.

This kind of forced conscription has gone on for as long as Armies have existed.

Then we shouldn't be on a high horse about Russia using conscripts either. When Russia does it it's "evil empire." When Ukraine does it, it's "oh that's been happening a long time."

That is typical munkle lack of logic and intelligence!

Russia conscript there soldiers during peacetime. Ukraine does not.

Have you called the repair company to find out why your elevator doesn't reach the top floor?

The difference in the technology is rather significant. Colonial Johnny and his musket stood in a line in an open field. No real training necessary. Modern militaries use advanced tactics and are mostly mechanized. A bumbling untrained conscript is a liability. As time goes on, the Ukrainian propaganda about Russian troops is falling flat.

I just heard a half an hour ago on Fox that 200 more children were murdered by the Russians in last night's bombing practice. The Russians have their mark at taking over Europe and murdering people who get in the way. They also hit a mark of destroying 70 schools from nursery school and elementaries to colleges and universities.

The Ukrainians displeased his Royal Putin, so he kills their kids. Every damn day. And I'm sick of it.

from War is Kind ["Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind"]

The unexplained glory flies above them, Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom— A field where a thousand corpses lie. Point for them the virtue of slaughter, Make plain to them the excellence of killing And a field where a thousand corpses lie.

And Navies.

Press gangs were the naval equivalent.

Kinda makes you want all citizens to be armed to the teeth with machine guns and other "weapons of war" in the even this shit happens here.

Every nation on earth wants American citizens disarmed. For that very reason.
