It's been a depressing struggle to work around the Singular Dimension of the Contextualized Russian Troop, which spans from Point A, "invader," to Point B, "suckered conscript." (Edit: Not that I mind the struggle, compared to say picking a team and blanket-dehumanizing people on the other team)

I even saw a thread today where somebody said in essence: Here's how it really is--their families back home don't care about them anyway, and they don't really love their families, so it's fine.

Implying we don't have to care about them being casually tossed by their masters into a meat grinder, in other words.

Well, these dudes are owned and loved by the human race at a basic, species level, at least, and ought to be.
