If they start drafting men over here the ones that don't want to go have a somewhat limited range of excuses these days. A while back they could have said they were a homosexual or transvestite. Now the forces have been politically corrected to actively go looking for them. It would be a case of grab your make up bag Ms. kick the heels off, and follow me, your on the especially wanted list. Best bet would be to play the straight white multi generational British male, they might say we have too many of you lot, move along :)

To fight for some maniac’s invasion of another country? Run and hide.

At 57 years old, if either the U.K. or France needs me to pick up a rifle, they are beyond ******.

Sure, but depending on the reason - would you not be willing to fight if the cause was just in your eyes?

It seems clear that most of these guys do not buy the Kremlin bs - though many would carry out there duty if there was indeed a nazi horde invading Russia.

Just tell them your a member of Britain First, that should do the trick
 
Think I would only fight if we were being invaded. And I have no shame in saying I would be absolutely terrified after seeing some of the footage in this war.

If they tried sending me to Iraq for example, I would refuse and just do the time.

I guess Putin is 'explaining' to people that its their country that is being invaded as Ukraine is part of Russia etc. :(

I don't think they are getting the option to refuse though. They're going to Ukraine to be cannon fodder and that's that.

What would you guys do if in that position? Being drafted

I'd be scared for sure but I know I'd also be useless on the battlefield without any training. If the cause was just and right then I would do the best I could.

If I was a Russian, being drafted as they are now, for a unjust, personal crusade, I'd turn a weapon on myself or surrender at first opportunity if I knew torture was not awaiting.

They may well shoot you.
Well I hope they would.

In the videos we now see if men being put on to busses. Where will they be taking them? To a barracks for training?
 
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Russians who aren't up to military scratch end up being put in forced labour camps and dying while Putin and his minions live in the most appalling luxury.

Phone the Ukraine surrender hotline the first chance you get.



That's not really manning up, that's the default and morally dubious option that requires no additional effort.

You think so.... good to know you would be one of the first dead then as your ability to understand your own ability or lack thereof means your a fodder of the cannon for sure :) of course this is all hypothetical. Besides I did my army time 20 years ago so would probably get a couple of stripes back and given the better gun or longer club than most.

It doesn't need much ability to surrender, in fact, it's generally a better means of surviving. I think perhaps you're overestimating your own ability old man, you're not in your glory days anymore! ;)

Convenient, and yet you hope others would be put to death for refusing to further damage their home country by taking part in the invasion of a non-hostile country on the whims of a power hungry madman?

You certainly sound like a lovely specimen :rolleyes:
