From the UK's latest defence intel update: 'In the coming weeks, thousands of who have fought for Group are likely to be pardoned and released. Wagner prisoner recruitment peaked in autumn 2022, with inmates being offered commutation of their sentences after six months of service. Although approx. half of those recruited have likely been killed or wounded, evidence suggests the group is following through on its promise to free survivors.'

Fighters who spoke to @reuters said they received two to three weeks of intensive training, and some credited it with saving their lives. Western military experts say such training is woefully inadequate.

Wagner Group’s bloody year in Ukraine: From murder squad to cannon fodder

It was supposed to be Russia’s secret weapon for a swift victory in Ukraine. But in the year since mercenaries were sent to hunt down Ukraine’s president, what was once an elite squad has become a group of mostly ill-trained & unequipped who today serve as

I never hear without wondering what sort of weird, psychotic screeching and cackling was normal in British society a few hundred years ago, for the and "settlers" to associate that creepy call with laughter.

Such stories about who want to join the army are now popular on TV.

Here is the plot from the interview of prisoner , who was sentenced for murder to 2 life terms and continues to confess in other episodes. He says that he wants to join the army to the front (probably to the Orchestra), but there is a nuance.

Escaped convict William Buckley lived more than 30 years amongst the Wathawurrung people around today's Port Phillip Bay. 
Adopted as Murrangurk, he had the opportunity to participate in, witness and later record some of the lifestyle and cultural practices of these First Nations people, at a time before they had substantial contact with colonial newcomers, when their way of was altered. 
Buckley’s story is an exceptional one and we begin in Part 1 by learning how he found himself on this side of the world and living amongst the Wuthawurrung.

I overheard a fellow old white man boasting about being "5th generation Australian, I can trace my ancestors back to the first fleet"
So what? All Aboriginal Australians are about 1600th generation, you don't hear them boasting about it. Maybe they should.

Actually I am first generation convict descendant because my dad knocked out a copper in a pub brawl in the 50s so he served 3 months behind bars.
