    You gotta applaud dem russkis

    ...dem Army big shots be pretty cagey. Only the most brilliant military minds would put an ammo depot right next to a troop barracks---within range of dem silly Ukrainians and their borrowed missles

    It's a manpower reduction plan...Mustering out pay for all those guys would have put a serious dent in the budget...Burying them is cheaper......Ben

    Ukrainians are using the munitions we sent them effectively. And, when the Russians admit they are doing so, it's worth every cent.

    Seriously I feel for the trooper that never wanted this war. So many will come home badly injured or worse because of Putin. Pray this whole thing blows up in his face and leaders face trials.

    On an individual basis Fred I agree with you. I'm couldn't figure out a way of condemning the ineptness of the russki military brass and the murderous putin while holding these unwitting victims apart from this event.

    Same as I always felt in most of the stupid wars we've got in. No real reason to be there or for so long. More I like the idea of sending Putin and Z into a boxing ring for winner take all match.
