There's something innately cool about guns, tanks and other military equipment. It's about the raw power of blowing stuff up, of seeing the muzzle blast of a machine gun, or feeling the rumble of a battle tank as it roars to life. It calls to mind the charisma of actors like Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood. Go ahead. Make my day.
Considerably less cool is the idea of enlisting for military service and then enduring months of basic training in order to experience the aforementioned cool. But this is Ukraine, where seemingly anything goes these days: the over-regulation of the European Union is little felt here. Want to do barrel rolls flying tandem in a supersonic fighter jet worth millions of dollars? How about fire a shoulder-launched, rocket-propelled grenade that's capable of turning a small Lada into a smoldering piece of scrap metal? Just call ALLua.
