Interesting report on the pushback recruitment officers are getting from Ukrainians.

Strange piece when the reality is they are chasing down young men in the streets and bundling them into vans. Recruitment Officers or press gangs? Hardly a man with a clipboard...

That might be the toughest job, mentally, on the planet. It's one thing to fight a war, with the support of one's peers, and another to be the face of a war back home in a democratic society, enduring the slings and arrows of those who do not want that war fought.

Those are some brave, tough people. My hat is off to them for enduring what they put up with every day. Their grind is no joke.

Apparently most of those doing the lifting are those who've never been near the front line. They're pencil pushers who stay in Kyiv and send other people's kids into trenches.

Nice.

Imagine being forced to fight in a war for a kleptocracy and to keep Zelensky and his wife in foreign holidays and jewellery.

I'd have been over the border within about 2 minutes of that bell end calling for mass conscription.

Many of them haven't been to the war. Those that have know what a meat grinder it is but they want to corral those who haven't been subject to it and send them to the front line.

It's primitive what's happening with Ukraine's conscription.

As opposed to the sophistication of Russia’s conscription.

A round of potatoes for every comrade.
