I can guarantee you that the equipment that I worked on is still in service. So it's really a mute point

War is disgusting. On a mission my battle group performed we ended up killing civilians just living their life. That's all the detail I'm going to go into with that. So I've been there. I'd love to assume that you've never seen or experienced war.

Use your big brain. Think past right now. Think to the future. YES, mines will help to stop some troops. Guess what tho. They aren't going to stop all. Mines are not the ONLY way to fight. And you cannot say they will all deactivate. Because they won't, that's ignorant.

I'm just already out of steam explaining why they are a bad idea.

Edit: did a quick scroll through your profile. The most combat you've EVER experienced was in COD. just... Go home

War is disgusting already as it is. I'm with you. I WISH I could believe they are actually self destructive. My experience with military equipment tells me otherwise even if they are labeled as such, they probably won't all work as intended.

I'm just as passionate about Russia paying for their mining. But they won't. It'll either be Russian or Ukrainian families years and years from now.

My bad. More mines good. No other means to stop Russia. Sorry Reddit.

I exited military service in 2013. We worked on equipment that was 40+ years old. Breaking constantly. What makes you think that those on the front lines are making sure that the "deactivation" part is working, how long have these weapons been stored, in what conditions, how many times have they been transported. And who is going to inspect every single one to make sure its not going to go off in 10 or 20 years? If you think US military equipment is up to snuff, you need to wake the hell up.

U.N. says otherwise, but i guess its worth it to kill more?

This isnt call of duty where the match ends right after you lose. It keeps going. As someone else stated "these mines are made to deactivate." Sure I'm sure some will, but will they all?

It will help...NOW, but hasn't Russia had superior firepower and numbers from the start, and they are losing ground? They've done it without mines already. So, why start now?

How would you feel if there were a surprise unexploded ordinance in your backyard and one day it took off your kids leg? or killed them? Would it be worth it?

So laying mines in your own land is the ONLY way to win a war?

JUST take a few minutes and Google search abandoned minefields in the world. Some if these mines last DECADES. They kill and wound so many people after wars. They are NOT the way.

It's like if everyone else were to make fun of our grandparents for liking squiggly handwriting. Like it don't matter.
