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
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
a convenient excuse to escalate
Sacrificial lambs perhaps
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.
