A detailed video account, published by Ukrainian special forces, described how the soldier refused to lay down his food, while one of his compatriots tried to kill himself by running into a pillar.

They later asked to watch Korean romance films, the Ukrainians said.

“He was lying there, with his head and an arm wounded. He had a grenade, a knife and a sausage on him,” one of the soldiers of Ukraine’s 95th Air Assault Brigade said in an interview published on Tuesday.

“I asked him to drop everything, but he refused to drop the sausage because it was food, so we let him keep it.”

    My buddy recommended I watch this show because they knew I was interested in how North Koreans lived. I’ve read a few books in the past. It is very romance based, but it’s supposed to be somewhat correct on how they lived when you read about interviews from defectors. It’s a long drama, fr drama, so buckle up if you decide you want to go there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_Landing_on_You

        That’s not too far off from what the defectors were saying. Just like in the US and other militaries, there are rapists and murderers in every single one. We don’t know how deep that goes? Maybe you do. It’s pretty opaque to us.

          Mostly I’m making a comment on class. Even when accidentally crossing into enemy territory, they can say “but I’m rich” and get out of anything.
