And abuse, and horrible physical violence, and Russian incapacity in dealing with anything that matters. Suicides are really common, physical violence is expected, there are basically no vacations, the hardware is in ****ty condition and when it comes down to war, the training and bad tactics and strategies cost a lot of men.

Russia really needs an voluntary army.

Oh aye, and how many members do you think this voluntary army will have?

Nowhere near two million, I'm sure. Bet they could number several hundred thousands, IF Russia gets their economy together and IF the Army becomes a better place and IF they can actually pay the troops and IF x1000

:/

[Bobboau]

our military is (currently) all volunteer,
what do we have, like 2 million?

[StratComm]

Combat I think the US has something like 750,000, but there's a lot of non-combat positions too that would get deployed with combat troops.  The official count is somewhere between 1 and 2 million I think, plus civilian positions.

Actually I said you were "about as emotional as the terroists."  While I do consider that bad, I don't consider it as bad as actually being a terrorist.  If that part of the post was in reference to me, I politely ask you utilize any self control available and not spin my original words like that.  Such distortion is not becoming of someone who wishes to make rational judgements free of overly virulent passions.

If that part of the post was in reference to someone else, please disregard my post here in full and accept my apology.  

I can say an apple and an orange weigh the same.  That doesn't make the apple an orange, does it?
