3. Just what every new recruit needs to hear on the even of going into battle...Uncertainty.

Is the general standing behind a bulletproof screen?

4. once they give these guys guns and ammo

that screen that the "commander" is speaking behind on the stage... better be made of bullet proof glass.

9. I saw that Ukrainan troops entered a recaptured town and found lots of dead Russian soldiers who

they just left as the Russian soldiers fled. So sad and horrible.

6. This is The Onion, yes???? PLEASE tell me that this is The Onion.

7. Half-blind? Sounds like a great way to "retire" a General. nt

8. What a hoot. Bet Putin throws him in jail. Than again, sounds like they REALLY need

soldiers.

10. Ho-lee S***!

Slavic Patton "I survive on pills and blockers"

11. If that doesn't inspire the troops, I don't know what will.

I wouldn't want to be that commander once these guys have guns.

12. So, what exactly, DOES this guy know?

No wonder Ukraine is kicking their asses!

13. All kidding aside: I wonder if Vlad's putting these old men on the field so Ukraine won't

fire on them. Is this just a defensive move? If so, I certainly hope Ukraine won't pull any punches. They're the attackers, until they leave and stop firing on Ukraine.

14. Sheesh! Sounds like a lot of them might croak long before they ever hit the battle field...

including the Commander.
