NATO troop mfs when they can't call in a MOAB strike against every house that might have a shooter inside :pit:

But for real, beyond the former veterans who have never experienced a warzone where their side didn't have complete tactical superiority, people in the global North are generally raised to have an immense feeling of invulnerability, where the very idea of going somewhere dangerous and not being able to rely on a powerful state back home saving their ass if anything goes wrong is unfathomable. On the volunteers sub there's a lot of commentors who believed that they would be allowed to head home with no problem should they choose to, or get captured by Russians.

But slowly these volunteers are gonna realize that Russian bombs don't differentiate between Ukrainians and foreigners wearing an army uniform.
