UKRAINE: JD Vance called out Zelensky for forcing Ukraine to hunt down and detain conscripts, sending them to die at the front—all because Zelensky refuses to pursue diplomacy. pic.twitter.com/T7nEvSwM4O

Do you really think they put these men into the line alongside their officers and NCOs and give them weapons and ammunition? How does that work out?

There must not be any officers on the front lines.
If I were abducted to serve, an officer would be my first kill.
Not seeing a significant difference between that and what the draft board here was willing to do during the Vietnam war if you didn't make it to Canada. Pretty much every country uses force just like this....or worse, to impose it's political will on their citizens. Right or wrong is never a factor in the equation.
Calls to mind an ET3 of my acquaintance who told me he had discussed getting out of the navy with his dad who suggested that he simply punch an officer. I asked him if he wanted to go to the brig for a few years and he said it wasn't that bad.....
I'm not the go to guy on that subject. I was 12 when the war ended and 15 when it was over and my understanding was that not a lot of draftees got sent to Vietnam or at least not until nearer the end of the war and by that time the civil rights issues were the ones that were tearing apart the armed forces more than the draft. There was outright mutiny in the fleet and God knows what in the Army. When we arrived in Fort Riley in 1972 it was a reasonably tolerable Army that we found as the First ID came back to Fort Riley but then we were on Main Post and I have no real idea what was going on at the Custer Hill or the Camps and none at all of what was going on in the Army in the old Confederacy.
Using the Army in this manner here has not really happened much since the Civil Rights era and maybe during the Depression and the Bonus marchers but the people are always in a swivet that it could HAPPEN!!!!!!!! Of course they think the Army is everywhere and it really is only in Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Hawaii, South Carolina and maybe Fort Drum but I've been there many times and never so much as seen a soldier there.....There really isn't a lot of Army here because a lot of it is in Europe, Japan and Korea and people forget that. I think I saw we have something like 20,000 in Africa but that may be wildly off.
Now take this rifle boy...and gimme that guitar...yeah....
