The problem is that the UAF needs to drop their grenades carefully to avoid hitting him.

I'm worried for this kid. I'd be at high risk of suicide in such a scenario. Like, the night before I had to report for service.

Many Russian conscript POWs have said they never handled a weapon. They were told they were going to be drivers, then trucked somewhere to then be given a shovel and told to dug trenches. Then a few weeks later trucked to the front-line and told to sit in a hole and observe.

So, cannon fodder after the hard labour is done?
