I saw a few comments about the Ukraine war and how it’s a “win win” for us to send them old gear and build new stuff. The comments didn’t really address the fact that people are dying, just “Ukraine will run out of troops”. These people did have names, families, and they were forced to go through horrific pain while dying in the worst ways imaginable. Most of them were young men who never even had a girlfriend and never will because they’re DEAD. But I feel like somehow these are just “troops” on Reddit maybe because war movies and video games desensitized people. Somehow civilian deaths are worse even though soldiers are people too… I understand they’re men so you’ve been conditioned to be okay with them dying but they are people.
