| 2022-04-17 |
| [MAIL] Russia lost its eighth general since the invasion of Ukraine in the latest blow to Vladimir Putin's botched war. Major General Vladimir Frolov, deputy commander of the 8th Guards Combined Arms unit, was given a military funeral in St Petersburg earlier today. It's not known how or where he died, but the timing of his funeral suggests Frolov was killed in the past few days. His 8th Combined Arms Army was fighting in Kherson, near Crimea last month when commander Andrei Mordvichev was killed. Frolov 'sacrificed his life so that children, women and the elderly in Donbas would not hear bombs exploding again', the St Petersburg governor said as his friend was laid to rest. The general was from a military family and 'died the death of the brave in battle against Ukrainian nationalists', Alexander Beglov added. He was 'a true patriot, a brave and courageous man' who 'honestly and to the end fulfilled his military and human duty. 'People will not forget their heroes. Eternal memory to him.' Russia also lost its 34th colonel of the war, tank battalion commander Miras Bashakov, according to reports today. |

| #6 99 generals on the wall, 99 generals. One shot himself to avoid capture, he dreaded Nazis more than the boss. 98 generals on the wall, 98 generals. One eloped with a blonde to Poland, and dressed his aide's corpse as himself. 97 generals on the wall, 97 generals. One was smoking on a no-smoking ship, and it went down with him, a smoking ship! 96 generals... WTH this is shit for performance, Vlad! |

| #3 Wonder if the Russians are going to use bureaucratic boards or battlefield experience for the next round of promotions. |

| #1 Interesting they use "nationalists" as a pejorative. Russia still has that old socialist mindset I see. |
