Wtf are "noncombat troops"?
Troops in an """"""advisory"""""" and """"""training"""""" role stationed close to the front line who could of course defend themselves in the event of attack,
Military Advisors![emoji janet-wink janet-wink](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/dc4a5140-9dea-49d7-86c8-8e1e8db14302.png)
Troops not involved in combat? Death to Canada, but it's a perfectly plausible thing to say. Medics, engineers, etc.
They’re going do the same shit as the reddit volunteers, where every
mercenary was claiming to be a “medic.”
Our superior recon tells Ukraine where to shoot boom boom we supply them with. Therefore bullshit we didn't "pull the trigger".
Plausible deniability
little green men
Sacrificial lambs perhaps
a convenient excuse to escalate
We should not for a second believe "oh we're not going to send anybody who'd directly harm anyone," but I believe most military personnel do not directly fight. Support/logistics needs are immense.
