I see comments like this from Americans who are surprised that Ukrainians are still working and going to school. Do they think people just stop needing food and rent money because the streets are getting bombed?
Weird that it would be coming from Americans given how often US media has depicted the importance of the homefront during the various wars that America has participated in.
Militaries still need food and supplies to operate, so someone has to be making/raising/growing all of that stuff. And those workers need to be paid, accommodated, and kept happy, so every other industry like banking, education, healthcare, entertainment, etc. needs to keep running at full steam to prop up all aspects of the supply chain.
They have Rosie the Riveter on a vintage tee but have no clue what she represents.
serious question: if you refuse to serve during a war, do they just arrest you? And wouldn’t it be better than… going to war?
Depends on how the country decides to treat its prisoners.
Serve? In WW3? Will just be suicide. Motherfuckers will deploy, and immediately be hit by a fucking nuke. Imagine this, 1 million troops land on a beach, and then in one instant, 1 million troops are gone immediately. The only real survivors in that war will likely be submarine crews and suited up, souped up, CBRN troops either way too deep into enemy line or way away from the front lines. Any warfare after the nukes drop will just be indicative of whatever fucking spite or malice that’s deep in humanity’s heart. I mean shit, I’ve asked my military friends about WW3 once, and they said that if the world is suffering nuclear hellfire anyways, and they’ve somehow survived? They’d immediately turn their tanks and guns towards the very leaders who sent the world into such a Holocaust.
I’m just gonna volunteer to go on the front lines and hope I get taken out as quick and painlessly as possible
You get assigned a task in an office managing computer infrastructure.
Computer infrastructure is the front lines now
I’ve seen many war movies where you just stick your head out of the foxhole and suddenly you get hit in the head in a very gruesome way. But very quick. Better than pissing off hulk and then getting your head grabbed and used to smash your body onto the dirt in full hulk rage. One thing not to do is to casually drink coffee or chocolate. That’s when they get you in the stomach. That’s a painful death.
You can always volunteer today even.
My mom always said, that if you do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life.
This design of molotov is unsafe.
You want the rag (soaked in fuel) to be affixed around the neck of the bottle so that it doesn’t blow up in your hand.
Stay safe, friends.
Technically correct if you die… with the caveat that you won’t be able to do much else.
I won’t have to go into the office, doesn’t mean I won’t be putting in work.
I think the assumption is that WW3 will involve nukes, and the collapse of civilization as a result.
Working as in ten dead?
