Uh, yeah, thats exactly what Ukraine has been doing. There was a video a couple weeks back from a heavy contact battalion's commander, saying they had been packed full of untrained POGs, who didn't give their commanders half their salary. So, they were sent to Robotyne.

No, they accuse American mercenaries of being American mercenaries. Theres a difference between a soldier being paid a performance bonus by their gvt and a free agent being paid by a foreign gvt to fight their enemies for them. One is a soldier, the other is a mercenary. The US military pays Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger bonuses. Russia doesnt. So, maybe hold off on the moral superiority, until you learn and understand what you're talking about.

@nobodyisbest No, they are mercenaries.

@zolandia5262 Yeah, when I was in the Army, they had a taggant in the fuel so people couldn't sell or use it. We called it 'NO-gas'; turned the insude if your exhaust pipe red. So, instead, we drove 36hr convoys around base in low gear, to use it all up and empty the storage tanks every month.

@vapeurdepisse It was because a scheduled shipment came every month and they wanted fresh gas in the tanks. Supply chain is just like a faucet. When it gets turned off, it takes time to get fresh water out of it. You cant just order it when you need it.

@tin-n-tan No, they didn't. They occupied Robotyne and are getting hammered trying to control it.

Love the way MSM spins this 🙄 Bill Clinton did the same thing with marketing the benefits package from the military, as 'free money' for a job you cant be fired from. - US Army '89 - '99
