THE RUSSIAN MILITARY

I'm sure many of us are following the news about Ukraine.

From watching the Ukraine military interview Russian POW's I have learned the following;

80% of the Russian military are draftees.  

They are subject to 20 -25 years in prison if they do not follow orders

They claim they were told they were on a training exercise when they crossed into Ukraine.

Some were only given two days of rations and fuel.

Many say they have received better treatment as POW's than as soldiers in the Russian military

NOTE--when I went through basic training in the army we were instructed to give only our name, rank and serial number if taken as a POW.   These guys are telling it all--what unit they are part of, what orders they were given, and how they now see the wrong in what is happening.

I believe the only way to end this madness is for the Russian people along with the military to over throw Putin.   Even some of his cronies are speaking out against the war.    By now the Russian prison system must be filling up with all the protesters.
