Morally I don’t think it’s wrong to use convicts to protect against an invading enemy.
Morally I DO think it’s wrong to use convicts as bullet absorbers in an effort to BE the invaders.
In any case, I’d say regardless of morality, it’s not a good sign that Ukraine has to resort to this.
I think it depends on whether the inmates actually want to or not. If they think fighting in a defensive war to gain their freedom is a good deal more power to them
Gee, it’s almost as if there’s a fundamental difference between an aggressor invading another country for conquest and a defender trying to survive. The latter deserves a lot more moral latitude.
User comment history definitively checks out lol
