Are we sure Cambodia should be in the line up, especially above Yugoslavia or Vietnam? Also this might be nitpicky but it should be Soviets and not Russians, there were 14 other republics and iirc over a hundred or so distinct nationalities.
While I'd say conscripts are easier to forgive than volunteer forces, they are still culpable. They offsetting the suffering they'd endure in prison onto other people, with which their respective fascistic armed forces are targeting. I'm more understanding of their position but they are still guilty.
Also, while the individual soldier may have themselves not conducted any crimes, by serving in a fascist military, you are still aiding them in committing crimes. By providing gains for that military through your service, it gives the force more opportunity and power to commit atrocities.
The amount of people in this thread siding with the leeches who contribute nothing to society and will gleefully sentence people to death by lack of shelter is astounding.
Yeah, it was bad when Lenin did it. It was arguable one of the worst things Lenin did. We're supposed to learn from that and not perpetuate it any further. Marxism is a science that evolves and we now understand religious discrimination was a mistake and horrible. You should not be perpetrating it today.
