Badly wounded Russian soldiers, some on crutches, are being sent to fight. Russians say it's because of huge losses and shortages of personnel, as well as bureaucratic mismanagement. (i.imgur.com)

Are they trying to start an union? Because they already struggle doing this in the US while working in companies so I doubt it will end well for them in Russian military

In the military, you don't start unions, you frag your officer and either defect or get a critical mass of mutiny going.

Unless ideology has beaten you into submission and obedience - then you ask politely to be treated better. It's just sad seeing this, really.

EDIT: I wonder if they ever watched Battleship Potemkin...
