100% true.^^

Ernest Hemingway stated the following about war;

“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead."

Unfortunately, it gets worse. Her younger sister is also a front line combatant and serves in the unit that is still known for its reckless abandon in combat and high casualty count.

Is anyone whacking these snipers on the other side of this or are they just "sniper" as in a random shot or two from the opposing trenches that hit people like her?? ??

This is an active shooting war. The "low" casualty count is explained that so far both sides refrain from the widespread use of large caliber artillery and mortar systems, and both sides are fairly well dug in. Snipers are shooting at targets of opportunity and, most likely passing exams in the process. In many locales trenches are within 300 - 500 meters of each other.

Just today, I've read an interview with Yaroslava's sister. I think it should be translated into English and distributed among all of the Western feminists under the title "is this the equality that you are striving for?". Yaroslava was a de facto hard core feminist. She completed sniper training classes and sniper training school with honors. She fought for and received her combat assignment to one of the most dangerous sectors at the front. After playing cat and mouse game with a Russian sniper and fighting a sniper duel at a distance of 1km for a week she eventually lost. Clean shot to the head. Now 2 kids will grow up without a mother.

Recently I started working with another group of "kids", "Charlie" company of the 3rd Special Forces regiment. My first piece of gear that I built and sent to them made it into "Daily Mail", no not the EOTech GPNVG of course, but the souped GoPro Hero the opertive is wearing on his helmet is from me.
