[quote=ABC Australia]An elderly man pretending to bring Ukrainian troops a jar of honey turned out to be an attacker in disguise, with the gift exploding and killing a soldier, a local official says.
The incident occurred at a checkpoint in the country's war-torn east on Friday, with a new wave of fighting between government forces and pro-Russia rebels having wracked the area in recent days.
The man identifying himself as a local resident in Stanicya Lugans'ka in the Lugansk region handed the soldiers a three-litre jar of honey and thanked them for their service before walking away, said Lugansk regional governor Hennadiy Moskal.
"When the soldiers tried to taste the honey, the jar exploded (there was an explosive device inside)," Mr Moskal posted on his website. "One soldier was killed and three others were seriously injured."
The village is located on the border between Ukrainian and rebel-held territory. Ukraine is known for its honey production and residents use it widely, particularly in tea.[/quote]
Reminds me of Firefly when they mention the reason why they cut their apples with knives and never bite into one is because they used to disguise grenades in them. Rather lose an arm than a face.

Well normally when people die you have some respect? Is this hard to understand?

When someone reported navy seal sniper teams on quads killing ISIS troops (a few months ago) everyone went "This is so badass!"
"innocent soldiers" my ass.

says a lot about you when your first comment on a thread about people dying is about how "cool" this act of murder is
this isn't a fucking movie, real people were affected and one person died horribly. nobody wants to hear how fucking awesome you think war is.

People are not allowed opinions? He never said it was awesome too.
Damn, when I see pics of military personell I think:"This is badass". Yeah war can be badass, regardless of how horrible it is.
I really don't get the fuss. Soldiers were dying from all kind of causes in Ukraine for many months, but an exploding jar of honey is mandatory to cry about?

Rule of propaganda: Never show sympathy to the enemy, no matter how you kill them.
It's a nasty double standard.

has anyone said the war in donbass is not terrible in every way? war is war and murder is murder. this is horrible no matter how you look at it and it's disgusting to see how many people will romanticize and fetishize the military and the idea of war in general, especially here when it's mostly done by kids who never have been near a battlefield.
even worse are the morons who show up just to make shitty zingers for a few pats in the back.

What about the shills who rate anything relating to Ukraine "winner" or "funny" or shit like that.
As if this shit is a gigantic joke.

it's real easy to look at this war like a good guy vs bad guy thing when you're a middle class kid sitting behind a computer screen, miles away from the warzone.

I don't know where you are pulling that from guys.
Like, no one said a single thing about this being good or bad.
I think you guys are overreacting to news.

Please tell me how the bolded is not an opinion of yours and is a solid fact. Please tell me how these soldiers weren't innocent in any way.
[QUOTE=NixNax123;46954361]thinking it's "badass" to kill innocent soldiers is psychotic[/QUOTE]
"innocent" and "soldier" when there's an active war going on is a contradiction. The old man obviously supports the other side in the war, those soldiers would have shot him if he was wearing the opposing uniform. We've moved past colonial line battles, we dont line people up and take turns firing muskets these days. War is atrocious, and it sucks that many soldiers don't realize what they're signing up for b/c recruitment propoganda and shit but they are still soldiers, their entire job is to not be innocent.

You know the "opposing uniform" isn't a uniform, it's literally a ribbon showing support of the Saint George. So if they shot an old man for having a religious conviction, they're seriously fucked.
I find it funny that if this was a guy honeybombing an ISIS checkpoint, the "badass" notion would have far more support here.

I am not saying you should only post facts. I am saying that this guy you are flaming at has an opinion: he thinks the event is badass. He never said it's cool that soldiers died, but the event is badass in his opinion and I don't see how it's a reason to attack him.

those people are fuckwits too[/QUOTE]
Woah woah woah woah... Woah... You guys took this WAY out of context. It was just my own observation. I NEVER EVER said "Oh yeah, those soldiers dying are cool as shit. FUCK THEM"... No, not at all. The way it was presented, was interesting, to say the least. And none of you can sit there and disagree. If a child gave a group of ISIS a jar of honey with a bomb in it, you all would be saying the same damn thing "That's awesome!" but I never did.
The way he did it, was cool. IN MY OPINION. Cause it IS pretty clever the way he did it.
The fact that he did it, was not. I understand that those soldiers may (or may not) have been innocent. But in war, who ever really is?
tl;dr - I'm NOT saying its "badass" that he did it, I'm saying its "badass" HOW he did it. Get a grip, people.
