   Probably a bit refreshing to have the company of a dog on the frontlines.

   My dogs when they get out of my fence they run away. How do these dogs just not flee right away in the battlefield? Doesn’t look like he is tethered to anything

   Totally useless war. Finland should have never attacked Russia.

   Edit: lol @ Persu users downvoting 😀

   Man, I just finished reading Unknown Soldiers two days ago. All of a sudden there’s a bunch of Continuation War stuff on Reddit. It’s like y’all did it just for me.
