Ukranian veterans don't even flinch at incoming explosions anymore. Is this normal?

No, but neither are the conditions that led them to not flinch.

what does being hard do when you get hit with artillery?

IIRC combat units will a threshold where they start to become less effective after "X" amount of hours in combat. First saw this articulated in the book "Band of Brothers". Easy Company got close to this threshold as they kept getting tossed into the front line. Other units had it worse ofc.
>>65529035
Maybe it's the nature of the war. Russia/Ukies are on homeground so to speak. They know the lay of the land, as horrific as drone warfare is -- they know who/what they're fighting for.
Let's compare to the U.S.'s imperial projects in Afghanistan (abandoned after 20 years) and Iraq. In a foreign culture/climate getting hit by multiple IEDs as you drive around in a convoy or patrol waiting to be attacked.

It's cruel to say, but society is better off never trying to reintegrate them. They're broken forever. Cursed and sacred. They should be considered already dead.

It's not like as if there's time to react. What exactly is spazzing out after the explosion supposed to achieve? Everybody knows doing so would be a deliberate and conscious reaction to a threat that has already passed. I'm sure the dumb faggots who watch too many movies and think freaking out is normal get it beaten out of them by those who are tired of their histrionics. Also they're carrying someone on a stretcher, it's usually considered bad form to drop an injured person just because you're a drama queen.

I cannot find the source but I recall it was an Osprey book.
It talked about levels of experience and risks taken.
Fresh troops were generally the biggest risk takers because they obviously had not experienced combat and didn't understand its lethality.
Middle tier experienced were actually the least likely to take risks. After seeing their first tastes of battle it made them extremely gun shy.
The last group was the experienced troops who had moderate risk takes. It was because they knew what could and couldnt be gambled reasonably.

>babby's first glimpse of the "boom" in post-WWII serial killers
Teaching people to "other" their fellow humans while teaching them to kill, all mixed with the mind-warping horrors of sustained intense combat, has always been a breeding ground for serial killers and mass murderers. In every society and culture.
The truly terrible part is that it's often one or even two generations removed, where dad/grandad nurtures incredibly violent sadism in their children/grandchildren. Sorry Billy, you were destined for a normal life of blissful obscurity, but now you'll be infamous for your horrific crimes because dad couldn't deal with his demons and raised a monster instead. Or dad killed mom and himself in front of you. Or grandpa usher you and/or dad into the family trade (secretive rape and murder). Ex cetera.

Face it: war is fun to discuss in or abstract terms, but it is the singularly most vile and horrible thing humans inflict on one another. The human mind was simply not designed to withstand the immense psychological pressures that sustained, unrelenting trauma that modern industrial warfare brings. So many of those who come home never actually come home.

As the saying goes, for many soldiers the war never stops even after the disarmament and peace treaty. Many get accustomed to the endorphin rush and high awareness state of combat, one reason why reintegration can be difficult for a nervous system wired to expect the very worst shtf events and immediately fly into action.
Peace can be mistaken as a threat, for it bears resemblance of a lull before a storm. Makes one suspicious and when nothing happens, then they make something happen as they can't stomach the quietude anymore.
>>
>>65528870
It's like anything. The more you're exposed to the sensation the better your body is at handling it.

First time I was shot at, it was the most intense experience I have ever felt. To be honest, the adrenalin dump was so intense I can barely remember it and it's true that time does seem to slow down.

Second time it was still very intense but I handled it waay better. Still the huge adrenalin dump and still the physiological effects but none of the mental effects. I was pretty clear headed through out.

There was no third time because I started stealing ducks at night. Whomever said the ones at the park are free is a fucking lair.

On the bright side, mental trauma is arguably easier to fix than blast related brain trauma.. which pretty much cant be fixed. Some edgy anon mentioned setting them loose in Russia after the war. Someone properly philanthropic could maybe retrain and employ soldiers in reconstruction and demilitarisation. All the wrecks, uxos, building etc. there's gonna be so many fucking filled in craters and trenches with corpses that future generations will find. And not just soldiers, I remember some horrible webms of civilian corpses being dumped into mass graves early on. Theres gonna be a fucking reckoning, a wrath that's going to rival israels post-ww2 lust for revenge. Perhaps these former soldiers can be given something like that to focus on.

Twofold thing:
From what I've read, one of the big drivers of PTSD is a lack of separation between wartime danger and peacetime safety. Insurgent conflicts like Afghanistan are particularly bad, because essentially nothing happens other than you can randomly die from lack of hypervigilance. Ukraine isn't an insurgent conflict, it's a near-total peer war for national survival, you know where the enemy is coming from, what he looks like, and how to retaliate. That clarity provides at least some relief from the set of behaviors and brain activity that induce PTSD.

However, working against that are the vague frontlines, incredible range, lethality and lack of warning that modern weapon systems bring to bear. There's really not that much difference between hitting an IED you didn't see or getting splatted by a supersonic artillery shell pitched from like 30km away. It's probably just going to be like WWI and II, the guys who get a really bad case of PTSD are going to go home, lead really awful lives, and then die over the next few decades of technically unrelated causes. The only benefit is that there's likely to be more social support and a better understanding of PTSD and traumatic mental conditions in 2027+ than there was back in 2003.

One of the deciding factors for PTSD developing is the lack of feelings of agency. It's why it was so bad in WWI and amongst rape victims.
>>
>>65530174
That makes a lot of sense. 'Everything around me is constantly exploding, sometimes the air is deadly and on occasion there's even someone with a rifle in the other trench' is a kind of danger where you may as well be rolling dice. There's always an aspect of that in war of course, but it's random and entirely uncaring beyond most war.

I can't imagine the trenches, drones, artillery and glide bombs make Ukraine a whole lot nicer a place to be in that regard. No gas at least, so humanity has actually demonstrated the ability to put at least one genie back in the bottle.

Yep, its completely normal where they are and after a while you just sort of shrug it off as being part of your environment like people driving cars, going down to the shops and off to work which is normal for most people's day to day lives.
During someone else's day to day they also move around risks, don't kick the neighbours pitbull, stay away from the cat lady in the SUV, keep an eye on any niggers. Its the same when you're in a conflict zone, don't kick the landmine, stay away from exploding things and keep an eye on any ziiggers nearby.
>Normal is a perspective

>>65530174
They only useful advice I ever got after leaving the military was-
>Do a clean break
Meaning don't do anything you used to do in the military for at least a few months and adapt back to the next step in your life. Getting a new job, healing up, spending time with family and avoid booze, that worked out ok for me. I still don't like people leaving rubbish around near paths and roadways, which I didn't like either prior to deployments but I'm still a bit overly sensitive about it exploding.
Oh and I always check the car prior to using it. Which my wife finds very funny, but fuck her she's usually making us late anyway... I hate being late!

You're a bit confused.
The right-wing in Ukraine is fighting /for/ liberalism, not against it.
The alternative is Russian dictatorship, what Ukraine considers right-wing is pro-democracy, pro-human rights, pro-freedom, anti-corruption, anti-oligarch.

There's going to be a bit of a shock when Ukrainian right-wingers meet euro-right wingers and fail to integrate with them.
Remember that the clankening was both right-wing and pro-liberal. There's a reason it's called the Euro-Maidan.
>>
>>65529627
>Literally safe space the city
That's probably Lviv.
Kyiv endures more, even if it's pretty well defended.

NTA btw, also live in Kyiv.
In Lviv, there are sirens and nobody looks up, in Kyiv, shit stops, people are kicked out of shopping malls and have to take cover in metro stations and sleep in hallways to keep two walls between them and drones.
Everyone in Kyiv knows someone who was killed or injured in a drone/missile strike, there are damaged or ruined buildings around the place, you never have to go very far to see signs of impacts.
We've had blackouts, cold showers, no food shortages yet but there is an oddly selective cocacola drought right now which is freaking some people out, McDonalds have had to adjust menus because not all stores can get all ingredients and they can't source postmix right now so are pouring coke from bottles.

Every night is punctuated with explosions and you get woken at 2-3am every night by impacts that set off all the car alarms in the suburb. Sometimes the drones go all night and light sleepers just don't get any sleep that night with windows rattling from blast waves overhead, sometimes for hours.

The average nightly death toll isn't enormous but I wouldn't call Kyiv a safe space, it's quite a stressful place. On bad days, an apartment building column is levelled by a missile and 35 people die in their sleep.

Because the current level of military expenditure and civilian cooption to military activities is unsustainable and unjustifiable in peacetime.

The rusgols already purged and massacred populations in many areas they've taken. Especially the Ukrainian-majority ones.

I have a friend who went to russia once, before the smo started, even before 2014. Besides Moscow, every city was a shithole that makes even the likes of Brazil or India look like heaven in comparison, streets all cratered up with very deep craters, water leakage everywhere, crumbling infrastructure, the constant stench of rotten food and dirty water everywhere, drunken boomers laying down on the sidewalks screaming unintelligible crap

Yeah, I didn't mean that the targeting of coke is selective, they got the same treatment every other warehouse is getting, I meant that only some supermarkets are out of coke, others got deliveries and refilled entire aisles with it.

I think a couple of the 2nd tier supermarket chains have transitioned to 2nd tier domestic brands, there are Ukrainian colas and other sodas I haven't seen before on the shelves now, there were always a handful but they didn't have much shelf space and it was only a couple of labels.
Now, entire aisles are all Ukrainian labels and loads of different varieties. I think hitting the coke/pepsi factories will actually prove an economic stimulus in the long term.

Everything else aside for a moment, is the invasion itself not indicative of why? Do you think there's maybe good reason not to want to live under people attempting honest to god territorial expansion in mainland Europe in the year of our lord 2026? Does this strike you as the action of a state likely to treat those it's prepared to kill to conquer well?
People you would want to share a state with are typically not also the people that would kill to make you share it.

Fair enough, I do the same with my bike but that's because I have these sturdy but tricky deep v rims that are easy to get pinch flats with and my valves have a habit of leaking a bit.
I've had enough rides where I suddenly realise the quick-release is open or something that I do a once-over first.

Yeah, the whole "White Replacement" nonsense has just been a Russian projection for a long while now, and just as >>65530447
points out, the average Russian woman just has absolutely no interest in the average white Russian man because of how useless and unpleasant they are on average.

It also doesn't help that every other type of woman in Russia would rather have any other type of man than the average white Russian man, so the amount of non-white Russian people has been on a steady rise for years and has spiked recently due to 1% of their population getting cubed and another 1%+ running away to avoid being cubed.

In the West, the level of browness will steadily decrease because, and this is something the grifters don't like to talk about, when a white man and a coloured woman have kids, the kids are paler than the mum and after two generations of white fathers, the kids are white again. And because white European men tend to be more preferable, as they treat women like people and actually have hobbies which make them more interesting people to be around, eventually most of the population will go back to being white again.

Russia can't do that, because the white part of their population has absolutely nothing to offer that gives them an advantage over the rest of the competition.

This is such an American thing to say.

In the Old World, it's perfectly normal to accidentally stumble on mass graves and old battlefields when you start to work on any major infrastructure project, because until about 85 years ago, we would be having at least two continent spanning wars a century and constant skirmishing along the borders of the various kingdoms and empires of the time. Even now, there's still battle damage that can be found in various European cities and we're still digging up literal tonnes of explosives every year and probably will be for the next century or so.

War is a normal and natural thing for us, where we can open up a history book, flip it to page 273 and present reason No.98 as to why you are a cunt and deserve the beating you're currently getting. Americans can't do that and on the whole haven't really suffered on the national scale enough to harden them up. You guys need to have like three or four more American Civil War scale events to get to the same level as a European country with minor trauma like Switzerland.

Something the American mind cannot grasp isn't that Europe is some pussified welfare state, it's a collection of nations that in some way or another was locked in low-to-high intensity foreverwars since they became nations.

The internet is not real life. The only things you see are what people want you to see, and what the normal person thinks will never be mass-promoted because why would you? If the vast majority of people think that way, then shilling it is a waste of time and money.

What you see paraded around is minorities screaming into the void to get themselves heard and recognised, and this has clearly worked on you.

If you want to know how a society really thinks, just go out and talk to them. It's not hard, as long as you don't spazz out and immediately open up the conversation with controversial bullshit. Most normal people are happy to have a chat with you if you meet them in a social space. Hell, if that's too much for you, grab a clipboard and a pen and just pretend you're conducting a survey for a random polling company.

For example, with the Pride shit. I know quite a few people who used to go to the parades who aren't gay because the drinks were cheap, the free music was good and you could just fuck around with your friends all day without anyone giving you the stink eye. No one has bothered going to the last few because the prices are now double what you pay in the pubs, the music was stripped back and they've got young kids to look after now, so they can't spend an entire day drunk and goofing off.

The actual gay people I know are completely indistinguishable from straight people and find the Pride shit cringe as hell. For them, it's basically like if the Nation of Islam was portrayed as the main Branch of Islam, instead of the insane cult followed by a handful of "Muslims" it actually is.

I was curious, so I just checked the regular channels and it does indeed appear that the mobilisation is confirmed, as they are starting to put out courses for Russian government admin staff on how to handle the absolute mess that it's going to be.

They've also shut the border with Estonia down for the next 10-days and have put in place a 5km restriction zone along the border, with night time movement outside populated areas being banned. Authorities have also restricted the movement of small watercraft along a specific section of the Narva River, as well as hunting and the carrying of firearms.

I think the time may have finally come for them to join the great Cube rotting in the trash heap.

Yes and no. You're naive to think that "it's all propaganda", when in fact bad shit exists and mindfucks people IRL. Like retards in Poland attacking Ukrainians, while they have russian forces on the border.

It's even worse when mainstream politics doesn't want to touch something and instead restrict something or censor something, pretending that everything is fine in la-la-land. Look at Germany which got raped culturally and socially by brown hoards and the politicians ignored this and had the balls to tell local women to not wear short skirts around migrants and such. That's how you get fifth column AfD being popular. Same things can be found in almost all countries.

They've been ramping their recruitment/volunteering/press-ganging up for months. Anyone in a potentially vulnerable situation gets targeted immediately. The manpower situation must be pretty grim.

About to get expelled from university? Sign this and you can continue the next semester after returning! Only drone forces duty, no assault units, we swear.
Parents about to get thrown out of commieblock for debts? Sign up and the debts are forgiven!
Having drug problems? Just sign this thing you don't comprehend in your current state (pls don't drool or puke on it) and you get a free detox program!

Their universities and various institutes reportedly have quotas now. Wonder if they're already failing students on purpose to meet those quotas.

>Their universities and various institutes reportedly have quotas now. Wonder if they're already failing students on purpose to meet those quotas.
Western universities (those with some form of universal education) have quotas too, state funding covers N places but 1st year costs a fraction of what 3rd/4th year costs to teach so they way oversubscribe 1st year and hoard all the expensive equipment/consumables for the later years, then fail out half of first year and a quarter of second year, then start taking it seriously for the remainder of the program.
If you still need more money to fund your research, take on some foreign students and help the stupid ones to get to second year after a few attempts, they'll keep paying for little zhang to repeat 2nd year for a decade and it doesn't drag down your local reputation when you eventually let them graduate and not at all if you let them drop out when their parent's money runs out, pretty much the same outcome budget-wise.

What I mean is, they don't need to explicitly fail students, just raise the standards a little until the desired number of students are passing/failing.
>>
>>65530782
>Wonder if they're already failing students on purpose to meet those quotas.
They are. They've also tweaked rules to facilitate expulsion from unis. Before you could fail the whole set of exams and just redo them N times. Nobody wanted to expel a student because students being in uni are tied to financing of that uni. Now two fails and you're out.

Depends on what kind of risk assessment the men are making and their familiarity with the cadence and targeting of Russian artillery strikes. Most likely they realize that the least risky thing is to keep moving if they aren't hit, and they know that from similar occasions in the past.

The EU makes funds available for something they call Social Cohesion projects, this is for all member states as well as candidate states that are past a certain level, this includes Ukraine now.

That's a broad category but among other things, it includes rehabilitation for returning veterans.
We're talking a holiday camps with physical therapy and an opportunity to relax with other veterans and process stuff by hanging out, going for nature walks and swimming and playing sports and having BBQs, without any threat present, something to help the group share trauma while unwinding in a longer term way, like a week. Then returning them to society.

You have no idea how wet the liberal bleeding heart of the EU is, or how well it takes care of people. Once the proper paperwork and voting has been done.
