Insightful and sobering thread.

Maybe it should be made mandatory to read it before expressing any opinion on the war in Ukraine.

Hmm, two cinder blocks holding up about 700 lbs overhead, one round on either corner and the entire thing comes down on the view port and gunners

Not sure about the gun but then I don't keep up with all these new weapons. I think the guy needs to get a re fit on the chest protector, it is about 3 sizes to small for him. It reminds me of my last couple days coming out of 90th replacement in Vietnam, they had a standing order no one was to board an aircraft home without new boots. I walked down to the warehouse to try and get a pair of boots even tho mine were not all that bad, but when I got there all they had was a size 13. I wear a 9 1/2. With boots that large I could have paddled my way across the Pacific to the US if they had given me some oars.
