      I just believe the righteous antipathy is better leveled at the Russian government, specifically Putin, than the anonymous cannon fodder.

        I prefer to hate everyone willing to kill me, my friends, my family, take over my country equally. Especially so, if they do it for money, for ten years.

        Hard to grasp such a complex concept, I understand.

          I can understand why you feel the way you do and cannot dispute it is a hatred you’ve earned.

          Just like I wouldn’t be able to blame any Canadian for hating every US soldier if the US were to invade Canada.

          I personally feel bad for every person involved in something as horrible as fighting in a war. I wish their hearts, brains, and energies could instead be employed in something peaceful, helpful, and beneficial for the future.
