DeadWorldWalking @lemmy.world I would let the people who want to fight do so.
Forcing 18 year olds to kill against their will is so insanely fucked up.
You live till 18 and then die for the glory of a leader you didn't agree to fight for. The second they grow up they're told to die

None of the reason has anything to do with the ethicality of forcing people to die the second they stop being children legally.
Lol let's make you fight against your will then since you seem so eager

And no, the Russians have been caught raping, murdering, and pillaging. This isn't just some fight over who controls the region where the people never see a difference.
