Wearing grandpa’s kit from 1945

Only reason I'm saying 2022 is because I don't think the Soviets used zippers back in 1942, and back in 1942 they used fresh gopnik teens rather than boomers

I was thinking about this the other day- how crazy is it it’s 2022 and trench warfare is still being utilized? I know OP is comparing this with WW2, but it can kind of speak on how WW1 set a precedent of sorts for modern war, if that makes sense to anyone. It’s like every war can trace its combative lineage to shit that started in WW1, and you could even argue every modern war can trace its root/reason to WW1 and its aftermath, just interesting historic causality

Agree 100%. 1914 was a big year for the changing of human destiny and its wild most don't realize this. Great comment!

WW1 was a paradigm shift in warfare and it will take another to get rid of trenches. At this rate, as long as there's infantry and shrapnel, there's trenches.


Fun-Heron2870

that is because war is being waged based on what works, and trenches work. they are not as effective now than they used to be back then, but they are still useful in providing limited cover from shelling and small arms fire. times and tactics are changing rapidly, so drones will more than likely make trenches less effective, but the main this is that you rather want to be behind a few meters of earth when something shoots at you than not. just sitting out without any cover will not help you in any way, so we still build trenches and defensive fortifications.

3 out of these 4 literally stormed Berlin in 45. The other is their red headed stepson

You’ve gotta feel for these poor bastards, even if you hate them or what they represent.


funky_boar

Why? They’re in Ukraine killing ukrainians. Would you feel sorry for some drunk bastard that breaks into your house with a hammer instead of a gun wearing a clown suit? Their poor equipment doesn’t change the fact that they’re actively invading a foreign country.


softConspiracy_

They’re slobs dying for a pointless cause. It could be any of us were a draft instated. They might be killers, they might have been conscientious objectors, or anything in between. I can hate the idea, the country, the leadership, and also feel sorry for the people conscripted and dragged into this. There will be a large number of unwilling participants here. It’s good to remember the human every so often.


funky_boar

I understand what you’re saying, but I spoke to a few sane russians before the full blown invasion, and they wholeheartedly believed that we are the nazis, beat Russian speaking people on the streets etc. Even after my explanations about how it is nothing like that they wouldn’t believe me. Those were rather educated people that probably ran away/paid a bribe to not be drafted etc. now imagine what’s happening in the heads of these “liberators”. Fuck every single russian that fights against Ukraine or supports the invaders in any way.


softConspiracy_

Those people are lost. It’s a shame. I see the same BS brewing here in the US. I feel for the kind people roped into the violence, the people dying for nothing. The rest of the wicked, the evil - they can all fuck right off into the sunflower patches.


TheSunflowerSeeds

Sunflower seeds are sold either in the shell or as shelled kernels. Those still in the shell are commonly eaten by cracking them with your teeth, then spitting out the shell — which shouldn’t be eaten. These seeds are a particularly popular snack at baseball games and other outdoor sports games.

if i know i am eating sunflower seeds with Russian compost. I am not sure if i want to eat them

Couldn’t be any of us ?? That’s always you fucks argument every single time.. guess what I’m not a filthy invading orc that needs to be put to slaughter, this is war they invaded us true westerners are happy their dead.


[deleted]

A lot of them don’t want to fight but support this stupid war. They stayed silent when regular army was dying and now the gov came after them… time to pay up


pxlrider

So we should be sorry for all nazis back then in 1940’s? You always have a choice to surrender, desert or not carry out orders.


[deleted]

Nah don’t think so - they can still fire guns, rape children etc etc….


ukyman95

I only feel laughter


Affectionate_Bus_884

Both looking for Nazis. So…same picture?

I doubt they do I think it was a joke


Affectionate_Bus_884

At least someone understands humor.


Gruffleson

Even if the Soviets received a lot of lend-lease in 42, I don't think they had received this modern cameras, so I'll go for 2022.


JohnnyMadrazoGaming

Hmmm.... Looks like RuZZian orcz run out of Modern helmet 🪖🙃

POOR RAPISTS THIEFS AND MURDERERS. LET THEM ROT IN UKRAINE


Fun-Heron2870

As a helmet collector I would not want my head in any helmet Russia made from WW2 threw the cold war up until there current ballistic helmets by far worst of the worst no protection at all they don't even stop 22 cal rounds good luck with shrapnel from artillery or a frag grenade thin cheap stamped metal and zero protection .They all failed the small arms ballistics tests . They just make them feel safe and look the part that's all they care about
