As Ukraine runs out of men to recruit, the latest recruitment slogan is “it’s OK to be afraid”. Kind of says it all. (www.telegraph.co.uk)

Also, weird how Ukraine only had 10k losses according to western media, but is suddenly running out of people to recruit. Could it be that western media's been lying all along. 🤔

When workshopping slogans, it played out better than "Are you willing to die for the United States?" or "Time to just get it over with".
I think the runner up was going to be "Zerg Rush!" but Blizzard wouldn't allow it, the Putin propagandaists.

Seriously though, I feel like having a recruitment slogan is just window dressing. People are being pressed into service and I just feel bad for them, anyone being dragged into war now are definitely not people that deserve what is going to happen to them. These are largely not the fascists and war tourists who would deserve it, these are the regular citizens who just want to live their lives and have to suffer for their leadership.
