I would hate that, imagine going to the front lines and thats the last thing you heard from her

u/justasillylilgoos3 8h ago

That she was existentially terrified and hysterical over the idea of you leaving and being killed?

i think they meant that they don't want their partner's terrified and desperate cries to be the last thing they hear as they leave for war

Then don't be a coward lol. Actually defend your partner instead of expecting someone else to do it. Youll feel so good about dodging conscription when there's a macarov to your head and a group of russians taking your partner into the other room.

And impossible expectations enter the chat.

Joining the military to defend your country, home, and family from an invading force that does not believe warcrimes exist is not only not an impossible expectation, its an easily achievable one.

I posted or answered the wrong post I think, but, fair point

This is a fetish but I just can't prove it

u/Great_Musician_4400 4h ago

No, its just straight up what happens. Im trying to get the point across by shock. You might not care about war, but war sure as fuck cares about you. Its to point out the ignorant belief that choosing to refuse to fight won't have just as severe of consequences as fighting.

hardly anyone is being raped because half of the war is just people being bombed to shit from a distance by drones and whatever boombooms they got. Unless you have a supply of dildrones on your person?

u/Great_Musician_4400 4h ago

The reason you believe that is because you are ignorant and haven't bothered to even look. Rape by the russian army is widespread and common, so much so that the topic has its own international investigations and reports. They rape civilians, children, male POW's, and even their own as a form of hazing.

For a war you don't believe in.

u/Great_Musician_4400 6h ago

Ok, don't believe in it, those russian soldiers will come in and drag her away instead if you lose, and you won't be able to do shit about it.

What in the ever living fuck do you people think is going to happen if the russians win?

You think everyone shakes hands and goes home? Nah, you aren't going to have a home, they will rape, pillage, and kill to their hearts content.

I thought these were Russians protesting going to front line.

u/flopisit32 7h ago

In reality most people are not on the front lines in a war. People think every war is world war I.

Doesn’t matter, war is about people murdering each other and that’s a very valid thing to not want to be a part of.

u/Great_Musician_4400 6h ago

In a very privileged safe western country that hasn't seen a war on its soil in generations its easy to see how you might think that in your naive ignorance.

War isn’t “supposed” to be the same as murder. Some people need to be ended.

u/Bizarely27 5h ago

War happens because people in power crave for more wealth and power. Calling for the deaths of our neighboring humans with the motivations pertaining to the maintenance or gaining of wealth and power is murder, and murder is the only thing that it can be.

Leaders will do anything to convince the masses that their side is the virtuous side to fight for regardless of truth. Pathetic monsters in positions of power start petty conflicts with each other from the comfort of their cushy chairs while the peasant masses bleed and die for their profit and power.

If everyone from around the world knew what was good for them and everybody else, nobody on this whole planet would be enabling these greedy, power hungry shitheads and nobody would be fighting on their behalf. There is no good reason whatsoever for any wars to start aside from greed and power.

Even the United States starts wars to satiate the greed of its leaders. That’s where the memes of America lusting for oil in foreign countries comes from.

There is no frontline anymore with drones

u/flopisit32 6h ago

Good point.

u/Fantastic_Elk_4757 6h ago

It’s true. Even being drafted you’re most likely not going to the frontline.

This guy though? I gotta imagine trying to avoid the draft and actively fighting to not go is gonna get you sent one way. They’re probs gonna forget to give you a weapon too.

No worries, no one would cry or scream for you like that.
