The foot soldiers generally don’t want to be there. Russia has to use blocking troops to keep them on the front line. You retreat, you get shot by your own guys.
I know everyone has particular things they think are the worst part of war, but stating at a giant flying robot bomb and knowing you have no way to escape or even effectively surrender sounds like hell. Like, how do you tell the operator you want to be taken captive?
Feels kinda like an old skate video. It felt weird at first but I got into it by the end.
