Surrender

 During Desert Storm,  a group of soldiers from combat areas were taking R&R with out hospital unit. As soldiers do, they shared stories. 

This guy was with his unit, and they had all fallen asleep, (this is bad, the guy left to guard should NEVER fall asleep). As they woke up, they realized they were surrounded by enemy soldiers. 

Who quickly reassured them they were Kurds, and were politely waiting for them to wake up, so they could surrender to them. 


Watching the mass conscription of Russians protesting the war, and I wonder if this scenario might play out again in a different part of the world.

I think it did to start with at least..Ukrainian grannies patching up young teenage Russian conscripts and sending them back with food in their bellies.....
