Or the majority are there by thier choice, they're paid what they view a good wage and think when signing up the risks are worth it so they do nothing?

It’s such bad odds though man. 50,000 dead and 150,000 casualties according to latest best guesses. Somebody further up the page said 514,000 active troops in the theatre right now. That gives you about a 5/2 chance of getting tagged by something and a 10/1 chance of dying.
There is no way you would take that chance if you had free choice and honest information. Misinformation and rampant nationalism got them good.

It's fascinating that a large number of Russians must have seen that video, yet they do... nothing. The obvious retort to that would be something along the lines of Putins absolute control of media and the public sphere, harsh crackdowns on disset and so on. But if seeing undisputed evidence of the meat wave tactic and its consequences won't turn Russian sentiments around, what would it take?
