They’ve probably committed their training corps to the fight, and suffered horrible attrition.", ">\n\nIt's possible attrition plays a part but there is a more logical reason for them being trained abroad, firstly - a lot of Ukraine's army was trained by several NATO members leading up to the 2022 invasion, the UK alone trained 22,000. \nTraining them overseas means they can train in a safe environment, have access to the relevant equipment and vehicles, whilst be trained to NATO standards by the best instructors in NATO - it wouldn't really make much sense to use the best Ukrainian soldiers to train them when there is an alternative available and since those troops are more useful on the frontline. \nI'm not saying attrition may not play a role, but to see Ukrainian troops training overseas and claim it's down to attrition seems like speculation - especially if you consider thousands have already been trained in the UK since the 2022 invasion started.", ">\n\nThis. It just logistically makes more sense. It's safer as it avoids the issue of having training areas hit by the Russians, plus it also ensures a certain quality of training by giving the Ukrainians access to NATO-standard equipment and facilities. It also allows more troops to be training at any given time, speeding up the delivery of fresh troops to the front.", ">\n\nAlso it frees up medical supplies and space in ukraine that would be needed for the fighting forces. Accidents happen all the time in training. A soldier I talked to was doing the shoot house and shot himself in the chest with ricochet one time as an example.", ">\n\nI know someone that used to be in the army as a tanker and lost part of his finger when a plate fell off the tank while stationed in Europe. Shit happens.", ">\n\nAustralia just doesn't have the quantity of military hardware surplus to spare so sending trainers to help is a way of contributing.", ">\n\nThey have a couple of new ammo factories that can spit out a lot of 155mm stuff", ">\n\nThe trick is to allow the wildfires to burn the wooded environment down. Then you call up the boys to swing by in the ute and have a little cookout.", ">\n\nAustralians just cannot miss out on a scrap. They'll be involved. I suspect something more is going on because there is no reason the British or Irish army couldn't teach this.", ">\n\nIt's also spreading the load and contributing what we can as an ally.", ">\n\nAustralia should provide Ukraine with Emus", ">\n\nWhat? And end up charged with war crimes?", ">\n\nMy training with the Ausie’s went something like this, “Oi Mate!

As a spaniard who grew up there (which had been living under a religious dictatorship which only ended until 1976), these zealots are people who have spent decades talking about how we should all go back to having Franco's laws where we had banned condoms, pornography, and sex education.\nWe literally had people who nearly faced six months in prison, in 1977 no less, just for talking about how the contraceptive pill works (though to be fair, he also mentioned that a large number of Spanish women were already using it, many of them well-off and able to access it from abroad).\nSpain's right-wingers are not the same as in the US. If you've ever spoken to one and asked them about their views of the guardias' abuses against the Catalonians, the Galicians, the Moroccans, or how we used to ban gitanos from entering towns/cities which prevented them from being able to access schools/hospitals until 1976--you will discover that not one of them had any compassion to start with. Assholes like the Vox party (who once encouraged people to go throw explosives at refugee kids) want all of us to go back to living like our parents and none of us want it." ]
