If you zoom in they all look so young. They are all basically kids. And in a couple hours a good chunk of them will have been killed/disabled for life and/or done the same to another human.

War is a terrible thing. Entire generations of teens and men are lost. It's why Putin's war is unbelievably wasteful. There was no reason to fight, he just did it to keep unrest down. People like him are monsters.

True, but that guy in particular looks ridiculously young. If I was just seeing his face I'd assume he was 11 or 12.

Yeah I listened and started studying the faces. I dont like what I saw. I'm pretty sure I'm older than many of the dudes in this picture (at the time it was taken) and I'm not that old.
