There's going to be a ton of soldiers returning home mentally FUBAR'd, more so than usual, Ukrainians and Russians can understand each other, even if they don't know the other language, they're similar enough where they can get a pretty accurate jest of what's being said, it's so much easier to shoot someone if they're just screaming gibberish. That and the fact this is actually a modern war and not fighting goat hoarders with mainly AK-47s, RPG-7s, and Technicals.Casualties is does not mean dead, it means being injured in some way to take the individual out of combat duties. People were getting blown up at an insane rate, just because the US has a great evac system for wounded people does not mean they're not saddled with blown off legs and massively burned bodies. Relative to WW2, Korea and Vietnam the death rate was rather low but there was some serious fucking damage going on in Iraq and Afghanistan that largely gets ignored in favor of the small KIA number.

Seeing your buddy get shot and die is one thing, seeing your buddy get hit by artillery or an IFV's autocannon and most of him just disappearing in a cloud of dirt, smoke, and a red mist is another.
