r/VolunteersForUkraine - The ManChildren's Crusade of 2022

If anyone even gets to the boarder and does join up, they will realize that they don’t have (in no particular order):
1. Hot showers or showers at all
2. Decent food
3. People to talk to, lots of Ukrainian, not too much English
4. Internet!
5. Anything to do for the most part (hurry up and wait) and then maybe 15 minutes of confusing loud combat.
6. Having to follow orders when nothing makes sense, like walking miles and miles when you don’t feel well or are bone tired. Or are cold. Or very hot.
7. Comfortable place to sleep

None of these people are ready to be seriously uncomfortable with about every aspect of their lives. I would say that the rating “uncomfortable” would be the absolute best they could hope for. Down right fucking miserable is probably the correct rating. And let’s not forget that when you come home (if you make it back alive) you very well might be prosecuted for war crimes…

It’s 2022, nothing new, people are still stupid.
 
I though the Russians would have went in harder, but that convoy they had has stopped moving and they don't seem to have hit many of Ukraine's runways, Ukraine still has jets flying.
Sooner or later Ukraine will fall and all the idiots that went there will end up bummed by Chechens.
 

If there are actually 16,000 volunteers, hopefully they are clicktivists or if they do show up they are actually from the region and maybe speak a relevant language.
They don’t speak the language at all.

Two things spring to mind when I was looking at this thread. First is the military satire in Starship Troopers where countless individuals were sent to be slaughtered by a top brass who didn't care about the body count. Next, for a more real life example, is the naive attitude English soldiers felt when the First World War started as they headed off to be bullet sponges once they climbed over their trench ladders.
 
As far as I can tell, the core of the movement when it began was Iron Guard type Slavic Fascists whose chosen symbol for the battalion was a Wolfsangel, a very popular brigade symbol in the Wehrmacht.
They were a right wing football fan club. That is where the unit came from. Russia has the same nutters. Hell France and the UK has nutters like this if you look close enough.

Politics and sports (along with crimes and violence) are tightly intertwined. It's not like North America.
 
These faggots think they will be in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade but don't realize that (if any of them actually do go) they will just be used as cannon fodder
They will absolutely be used as meatshields. I’m sure the Ukrainians would love to have some dead Americans to use as propaganda to draw the US into the war. Slava Irania!
