We have plenty of pedophiles and perverts we can send!

Send ethnic minorities instead of me!

It was a major mistake for the Russian government to draft one of its favorite propagandists. He certainly let loose with an unpatriotic, racist tantrum that will inspire draft resistance across the board. The contrary insults from the other commentator - clearly too old and out of shape to worry about being drafted - only made things nastier. Now the draft resisters have someone they can reference.

It was similar in the US when the Draft Board called up the son of national radio news reader Paul Harvey and he suddenly became anti-war and anti-draft, where he previously had been on-board for the Vietnam War.

1 -- Woman says probably the draft will be 1 million. Her solution is to send the pedophiles and other criminals - and says we should have plenty of them.
2 -- Man who got drafted doesn't think he should be on the list. He's too old. He's upset and angry. Towards the end that someone from the ethnic minorities can take his place there are plenty of them. Yeah he said it.
4 -- Other man who was challenging the drafted man's honor, bravery, etc. At the end he asks if he has balls.....and then says and you are a coward and you are afraid of women ....


Being afraid of women must be the biggest russian insult man to man

Japan, in the final days of WWII, armed women and children and gave them military training.
Armed then with guns, spears, knives.

openly using terms like cannon fodder, meat grinder and the rumored 1 million future conscription figure, though. If they are, most of society must be; with plenty of fights over what's patriotism. "You go die in the Donbas!"

Claiming sending minorities in their place would qualify as patriotic is no doubt standard attitude for this show.
