war is no fun .. people do not vote for war.. the following from MoA - but quoting the economist ..
....
..... The hospital ward reeks of the sacrifice: soil, blood, and stale sweat. Foil burn-dressings line the corridor. In the yard, the patients, some wrapped like mummies from head to toe in bandages, smoke furiously. Angol, a 28-year-old paratrooper with the 33rd brigade, looks like a Christmas tree. His left arm is immobilised in a fixation device. Tubes, bags and wires protrude from his body. He was also about 30km into Russia when his luck ran out. He isn’t sure if it was artillery or a bomb that hit him. Maybe it was friendly fire; there was a lot of that. All he can remember is falling to the ground and shouting “300”, the code for wounded.
and further down, and quoting ANGOL ..
Tired, dirty and exhausted, the soldiers say they regret no part of the risky operation that has already killed scores of their comrades: they would rejoin it in a heartbeat. “For the first time in a long time we have movement,” says Angol. “I felt like a tiger.”

Angol is probably a bit high on drugs .. but eventually reality will set in - and he will be totally depressed.. and probably angry when he finally realizes that he was nothing more than cannon fodder for the americans
Angol's dead mates, obviously no longer feel any pain .. but their family members will feel the pain ..
and for what it is worth, but shell shock is real .. there will be many ukranians (and russians of course - but fewer of them .. russia has plenty of glide bombs) who will be traumatized for life
