A lot of keyboard warriors that like to belive they would gladly fight and die for the glory of their country if the time came, but are so far removed from the realities of war, that when they think of war they think of movies and video games, not watching your freinds get blown into chunks by an artillery shell or rocket while you’re making an MRE in your trench.
You can’t seriously be equating the moral shortcomings of taking a bribe to the complete immorality of imposing a draft on others and forcing them to march towards near certain death
I definitely can. It would be a completely different topic in russia where they draft people to sustain occupation. If Ukraine stopped defending now, you’d have Buchas and Mariupols all over Ukraine with many dead. So I don’t really see it as immoral as much as it sucks for everyone involved.
Compared to that, taking bribes from desperate people is next level fucked up and it’s effectively profiteering on genocide.
Downvotes for a comment pointing out that forcing people to fight and die is fucked up? Okay, people…

Calling it a crime is fucked up. Especially in a thread where actual crime (taking bribes) is discussed.
