"A study by Ukraine's military ombudsman found that soldiers deployed for over 40 days on front-line positions develop apathy and 'stop caring whether they survive or not,' Ombudsman Olha Reshetylova said on April 27.
The findings come amid broader concerns over Ukraine's mobilization system, which has faced persistent challenges in recruitment and rotation during the full-scale war. Ukraine's military has struggled with manpower shortages and prolonged deployments, with some troops remaining on positions for months due to a lack of replacements.
The research by the Office of the Military Ombudsman indicates that prolonged deployments lead to severe psychological strain, decreasing combat effectiveness.
'Everything beyond 40 days cannot be considered effective,' Reshetylova said in an interview to Ukrainska Pravda, adding that commanders should take the findings into account.
She noted that existing regulations limit time on position to 15 days, but the rule is widely ignored, leaving some troops deployed for months or longer without rotation.
'This is a dead norm that no one follows, which in turn means there are effectively no limits,' she said."

@EWErickson Erick, you are a man who can look at something and not see it.
I have to admit that it's a lucrative skill.

Republicans in the former Confederate states keep nominating black candidates who the white Democrats keep voting against. The racism is not on the GOP side.
Chris Towler@blkprofcct
The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.

The next time Democrats try to tell you the price of gas is President Trump’s fault, remember Joe Biden’s Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm saying, “The president does not control the price of gasoline.” Hypocrisy.

Why is Barack Hussein Obama meeting with world leaders while President Trump is in office?
This is a coup.

Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

Thanks to President Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget, this War Department has moved from bureaucracy to business.
This is a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT in our Arsenal of Freedom—ensuring our military remains the most lethal fighting force in the world.

Fauci’s actions caused the deaths of about eight million people, 1.2 million of them Americans. His actions may or may not have constituted federal crimes, but he almost certainly committed perjury, which is a crime. The least Trump can do is prosecute him for that. Let a jury decide.

BREAKING: The Department of Justice does not plan to arrest Dr. Fauci and is expected to let the statute of limitations for lying to Congress expire.

@AriFleischer Not a single true statement.
Of course, you were a spokesman for Dubya.

You mean like the transition you led to incoming President Trump?
The one in which you, Biden, Brennan, Comey and Clapper sandbagged Trump with false charges of collusion and then launched the bogus Steele dossier against Trump. Not to mention what you did to countless WH and campaign aides.

Obama: "The White House shouldn't be able to direct the AG to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted. You can't have a situation where whoever is in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies or reward their friends."

Marco Rubio says the goal of the war in Iran is now to restore it "back to the way it was" before Trump started the war in Iran

@Luizmd When they put you on a ventilator, it's because you are really, really sick and can't breathe on your own.

I worked as a physician in a community based hospital in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, during the entire pandemic. Hospitals were NOT overrun, and at no point were we loading bodies into freezer trucks. You were lied to. Fear is a powerful drug.

@EWErickson Day 470 of Trump's presidency ("I'll fix it on Day 1!").
Still Biden's fault.

Y'all, a gas price surge for a few months is not enough to put a well-managed airline out of business. The Left really hopes you are ignorant. Spirit has had a lot of problems and got blocked from a merger that would have improved their management by the Biden Admin.

We didn’t need a sophisticated algorithm to see that the COVID injection was causing a great deal of harm.
The massive volume of adverse events was a safety signal screaming at all of us.
English
The COVID cover-up goes all the way to the top. Fauci funded the Wuhan lab. Senior intelligence officials hid classified evidence from the president himself. Scientists were silenced. Millions paid the price.
The DOJ has until May 11th to prosecute Fauci before the statute of limitations runs out.
I am not letting this go. The American people deserve justice.

@itsrosesm Trump has grifted well over a billion dollars, just in the past year and a quarter.
Give me that opportunity and I also will work for no official salary.

Obama donated NONE of his salary. Michelle had a staff of 23.
Trump donates ALL of his salary. Melania has a staff of 4. In life there are givers and there are takers.

@marcthiessen Ah, the man who cheered us into the Iraq war, and who now cheered us into the Iran war, says blockades are not war.

Trump used the ceasefire to steam ships through the strait to impose the blockade … rearm and reload the US military for round 2 of combat … and comply technically with the unconstitutional war powers act. Genius.
Jim Hanson@JimHansonDC
President Trump perfectly plays the War Power Act with a letter to the Senate saying: "On Apr. 7 I ordered a ceasefire...There has been no exchange of fire since...The hostilities that began on Feb. 28 are terminated" He reset the clock on the War Powers Act. He then states he is keeping forces in the region in case they are needed reserving his right at Commander in Chief to use them as needed. He also said today he considers the War Powers Act unconstitutional but is complying with it to avoid a conflict over that. He is absolutely correct as the WPA has never been to SCOTUS and does significantly infringe on the President's Art. II powers. But until that is adjudicated it is best to play along with its requirements while not losing one bit of his freedom of maneuver as Commander in Chief. Brilliant!

@DanCrenshawTX Dan, I would have thought that a Navy Seal Officer would know what a smoke screen was; I was wrong.

According to the mainstream media and the woke right Keyboard warriors, Trump is losing the base because of Iran. Doesn’t look like it to me

@dowis_mark You mean the second bankruptcy in rapid succession when the first was before gas prices skyrocketed and they were already saying they were struggling before gas prices rose and desperately needed help? Okay.

Today, 14,000 Americans are waking up unemployed because Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Lina Khan, and the Biden Administration insisted they were smarter and more knowledgeable about the airline industry than the airline industry itself. Technocrats kill jobs.

The United States has completed its withdrawal from the WHO.
This is a major victory for national sovereignty and medical freedom.
The same global health establishment that failed during Covid should never again control American policy.
We will not be ruled by unelected bureaucrats.
