Reminds me of this: An ex-convict gave horrific insight into serving in the Russian army, saying his officers refused to collect the dead bodies of soldiers from the battlefield so that the Russian military wouldn’t have to pay their families, according to The New York Times. In an interview, the soldier who served in one of the Russian Ministry of Defense’s convict units — who was identified as “Aleksandr” — told the Times he was ordered not to collect the bodies of his fellow troops. He told the Times that officers could register the men as “missing in action,” meaning their families couldn’t collect compensation for them being killed in battle. One shitty dictator starting a completely unwarranted war doing the same thing as another shitty dictator running a completely unwarranted war.
