We may joke a bit about this, but the people around Kursk Oblast have, at least in this Italian documentary that made controversy in Russia told how Ukrainian soldiers have been generally very kind, at least to civilians of course.
So, the second most powerful army in the world was supposed to liberate Ukraine from Nazis, only to end up being invaded on its southern border by said Nazis?
Look's like Fort Polk La 1965. One of our training areas way out in the Pine Woods of La, they had long planks attached to trees that made a stand up eating area where you placed your tray and ate your meal. The day I first saw this is winter and it was raining like hell, the food was running over the side of the tray. The US Army had diesel heaters that you set down into a trash can and it would boil the water for the mess people to wash the trays before returning them back to the mess on post. We would walk in a long line and dip our own dirty trays and stack them as we left the area. We were all so tired every free minute of a day we would lay down in a puddle of water or mud to catch a short nap, that mostly happened at chow time on base, so it was smart to try and be the first in line that way you could catch a short rest after you ate. All our cadre were all WWII and Korean war vets and they would stay out all night drinking and still outrun all of us, they never missed a step and could hang with anyone. Most had been recalled from retirement to help train the many new people coming in due to the Vietnam war.
