^ @Skybird well put. Wait, did i say this
Since you wanted to hear from other subsim members –
Both side's bullets can kill you, and what is euphemistically called "friendly fire" can of course kill you as well as the enemy.
I would of course have left the house if possible, if not this will become ugly.
But this was of course a rhetorical question by you.
If another country attacks my country for an obvious conquest of land, with pretexts, propaganda and lies, ridiculing my ancestors who fought ecactly this behaviour some 80 years ago, i grab a gun and look for the enemy to shoot at.
By the way showing repect to war veterans and honour them is a good thing.
Instrumentalizing war veterans for an unrightful war is
disgusting.
In case of Russia, you have forgotten all that was important to the victors of World War II.
