The military is trained to take orders. Every military is that way.
I feel for the Russian soldiers. They have no where to go. They can't go back
home or they will be shot. They must either fire on targets as ordered or
perhaps they can surrender. There are are POWs in Ukraine but I have no idea
how many.

Yes, many in Russia blindly follow and believe what their leader says
regardless of haw outrageous it is. That doesn't seem to be the case for young
people though. Many have been jailed simply because they appose the war and
expressed that fact. They give me hope.
