Sons of elites safe while ordinary Russians face frontlines

bone spurs must be common among russians
Did anyone thought Putin’s friends were sending their sons to their death?
No surprise. Russia is a very corrupt system, and elitism/racism is very deep and open.
What does this mean? There is no conscription in Russia as contracts fill up manpower needs. Usually it’s poor people from poor areas who are attracted by the relatively higher income promised by the RU MoD. Anyway, no one is sending anyone anywhere so maybe people could benefit from not being disinformed, no matter how attractive the prospect would be
In other news the sky is blue and grass is green
Off topic but kind of related. I have always had immense respect for John Walton, son of Sam Walton (Wal Mart).
Dude was born uber rich but volunteer for Vietnam, became a Green Beret medic, then served in arguably the most hardcore unit in history (MACV-SOG). Sadly died in a private plane crash years later but still.
During my time in the Army I saw quite a few wealthy types serving, especially former pro athletes.
That is not a Russian thing. That is how war has always been everywhere.
Isn’t this kinda the pot calling the kettle black? Are the folks getting abducted in the streets by TCC officers ukraines fortunate sons?
Nooooo waaaayy?
Not to be a simp, but thats the case for every war
It ain’t me, it ain’t me I ain’t no senator’s son, son It ain’t me, it ain’t me I ain’t no fortunate one, no
Well this is war, is it not?
1. Thats the case everywhere in the world. 2. Rusia doesn’t have forced mobilization or conscription so I don’t get the post. Ordinary russians choose to be in the frontline.
If Russia were in a position where the sons of elites had to join the military, the war would be over within a minute. White flags would be flying up immediately.
So its the same as every other war in every other country, in every other time in history.

Always that’s what the IRA is for
This is a tale as old as time
They send our daughters and our sons To deserts under burning suns A sacrificial slaughter to fill The pockets of the weak
-Rise Against, Survivor’s Guilt
That this is how cookie will crumble was crystal clear to anyone, even for vast majority of Russians themselves. Not sure why it is such an unexpected thing for some

They know it’ll all be over when [Kadyrov’s son](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/xd9EtgQ088) shows up to the frontline in daddy’s tactical Cybertruck dual wielding gold plated LMGs.
Yep. No surprises here
