Default Georgian solders "borrowed" by Russian troops

Some photos from the recent exchange of "strayed" solders.
There's lots of woods, rocks, mountains in Georgia...













Enjoy

The Russian and Georgian camo clothing is very similar. I might be confused as to which one is which especially in the heat of battle.

To my knowledge Georgian troops are dressed in MARPAT.
Russians have their own stuff. But camo is still camo.

Its like you get a hard on for watching Russia put simple people in pain. There is nothing to enjoy here. You're a sick man.

It's a war, man.
They started it.
Now it's VAE VICTIS time.

And BTW. They are not 'simple people'. They are solders.
Good solders don't surrender.
I guess, they've got bad US instructors who failed explain them that.
Good MARPAT camo though.

Good soldiers they are. Know why? When they were ordered to not shoot during a ceasefire, they didn't. Russia doesn't have any of these good soldiers - they are unorganized idiots that don't have any honor nor any respect.

And this doesn't change the fact that you are a sick man.

Has there been any evidence to back either side's claims on who started it? I think not.

It's one's word against the other's.

And as for the "Good soldiers don't surrender"-bit, have you been in a war? Have you experienced how it is to be in the frontlines, fearing and praying 24/7 that the next bullet doesnt bear your name?

Doesn't Russia has the draft still in place? If so, that would make any of the enlisted men 'simple people'.

And US military instructors.
Check out one of the pictures posted called 'Putin mounted Saakashvilli' look closely
at Saaks' bodyguards. Do they look like Georgians? Ah, I doubt you can tell. But try anyways.
