    The troops are replaceable from a military perspective, but I don’t think their mothers hold the same opinion.

      They’re not even really replaceable from a military perspective if you’re losing experienced, trained soldiers. Replacing them requires an investment in time, effort, and money.

      Of course, as I understand it, Russia just replaces the bodies and doesn’t bother with the training or experience.
