There are a lot of (rightly) critical comments here about the imbalance between prosecutions of high-ups taking bets and the grunts (in this case though, a senior-ranking soldier).
But it seems to me that the closer to the frontline you go, the betrayal is even worse; if the story is true, then these are his friends and comrades he is endangering for financial gain - its not just an abstract risk argued away by simple high-level corruption.
- cpncrunch 6mo agoDo we have any evidence of higher-ups making bets?
- mellosouls 6mo agoPeople with a lot of money have certainly been making bets (plenty of recent news items on that), but I think the point being raised by others is that it's suspicious that only the lower orders have so far apparently been pursued.
- cpncrunch 6mo agoWe don't have evidence of that either.
- tencentshill 6mo agoTherefore we should stop talking about it anywhere, ever. There is nothing to see here, peasant.
- cpncrunch 6mo agoNo, we just shouldnt be confusing speculation as fact.
