I never heard a single gun bunny complain when arriving at our unit and finding out we used the M119, but I can't think of a single one who didn't bitch when we converted to a Stryker Brigade and traded out for M777s.

What Ukraine needs now is a poo poo ton of missiles. Not because that will turn around the ground war, because nothing short of another hundred thousand armed and trained Ukrainian soldiers is going to turn around the ground war, but because it lets Ukraine cause damage to Russia while they lose which is all the west has ever cared about

While nation states have a bad rep (thanks, Adolf), on a broader level it's also a consideration IMO that nations like Ukraine have their own language and cultural heritage that people think is worth protecting. I'm an old, out-of-shape goon so I wouldn't be much use in a fight, but I'd fight to save my family or, in the abstract, my language. Finland is a pretty small country compared to Ukraine, population-wise, too, so I would hope people here felt proud enough about our language and what little culture we have, and I would assume many Ukrainians feel the same about their own home. I realize I am chatting with my posting buddies here in a language that isn't actually mine, but I get the impression that since the US is comprised of all sorts of "national identities" and languages and so forth, it might be easy to forget that nations have (contrived and mostly bull-poo poo, but still) reasons for existing for the sake of their people. If General Ripper went ape-poo poo and nuked the physical location of Finland into glass, that wouldn't erase Finnish language from the world, or even Finnish culture. But the people I'd trust the most with making sure Finland keeps on truckin' on are, well, I guess Finnish politicians who are mostly awful but at least they know where their bread is buttered. And all the other fine folk who work for their communities. I can understand the general mentality of FYGM in the sense that war is awful and no one wants to fight in one except for people with mental problems, but I wouldn't leave Finland if we were attacked. My grandfather had to escape his home due to Stalin's war, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I hope this isn't too chauvinistic, but I think there are things worth defending in this world. Even if you die in the process.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/27/elite-force-bucks-trend-of-ukrainian-losses-on-eastern-front Elite force bucks trend of Ukrainian losses on eastern front quote:Fearful that the frontline could crack last summer, Ukraine’s commanders deployed the Azov infantry brigade to the sector. Their task was and is to repel what “Maslo”, a 29-year-old staff sergeant with the unit’s first battalion, described as “constant assaults, every day, sometimes for 24 hours”. Occasionally the brigade makes dangerous counterattacks on foot.

Since then, 44 more Ukrainian soldiers from the area have been killed — more than four times the local death toll from the previous eight years of fighting Russian-backed separatists in the east.

The joke being that Ukraine attacked the language of their ethnic Russian population and is currently trying to scrub their language and culture from Ukraine, at least legally. Also the president of Ukraine is a native Russian speaker. If you believe in the sanctity of your mother tongue as something worth defending, you have no choice but to support Russia against the genocidal Ukrainians.
