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.

You must live in a world of dreams. Seriously..

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

As long as a person is being drafted and takes an oath
he ceased to be 'a simple person'.
He is a solder now, a GI - governmental issue.

Are you a governmental issue now? You're just a citizen.
Military units of simple people are called partizans, paramalitaries, vigilantes but not army units.

If a citizen betrays his country he faces criminal prosecution and a jail-term.
If the same done by a solder (a governmental issue) that solder faces a court-martial and then a firing-squad.

I'll bet this guy has never served his country.

I did my duty (Light Infantry and Combat Engineers) and was discharged over 10 years ago.

What service did you do for your country?

Definitely a clone of the other Serbian (?) guy.

I'm almost willing to bet its the same guy.

Not so sure myself. Just as ridiculous as EliteSilentHunter3 (or whatever he was called), yet a different style.

The Russian army look more like a mob than a professional outfit. Surely their quality couldn't be as bad as the days of Afghanistan and the Soviet invasion in the 1980's? :hmm:

Now if they fight in the same way as they dress it doesn't sound too good for them if opposing a well trained troop, but I wouldn't know.

Just watch
Russian troops in South Ossetia


The 'white ribbons' - Osseti paramilitaries






<<If they make up the lack of "glamour">>
I guess, it's a cultural differences.
Army as a social institute is not for 'glamorizing people',
army is for killing people (enemy) in the most efficient (most offen efficient=brutal) way.

<<if fight in the same way as they dress>>

You know, it's dermocracy there. The West wanted it, did it not?
Russiants reached such hights of democratic developments that now every solder has a God given right to don whatever cotton he finds or takes from an enemy (dead or alive).

Is that why they hide their faces like the chicken little terrorists?
