None of us were conscripted and had our home invaded. The kid is 16 and terrified. I completely understand it. That kid was born in 2004. He was FOUR YEARS OLD when Russia invaded Georgia. He probably has heard about what happened. Then he was 10 when Russia annexed Crimea. He probably heard the adults talking about it, scared. He didn’t understand. He was 10. Now he’s 16 and being told it’s his turn to die.

Put yourself into his situation.

Bruh that's easy to say sitting back here in the US. The kid is literally 16 y/o and is asked to defend his country in a losing fight. I'd be scared too.
