RE: Військово-лікарська комісія
but it almost seems that you have more riding on the outcome of next week's election in America than I do as a US citizen
It really is. We are also guilty of not being able to build such a state in the time allotted to us, which would not be so dependent on someone else's help. We should definitely have more production of long-range weapons, airplanes, etc. We have a saying: he who does not want to feed his own army will feed someone else's. As you can see, these words are made from the wisdom of the ages.
this has an ominous sound to it
The war continues, there is a constant need to replenish the army. This issue needs to be resolved quickly, so from time to time the rules and laws change, making more and more people eligible for military service. But what I described, namely the attitude of doctors to the examination of conscripts, unfortunately, goes beyond the scope of the law.
I like that saying.
Out of curiosity, are women also required to get medical evaluations, or is that woman in the hallway there with someone else?
No, women are not conscripted into the military in Ukraine. They can serve in the army only voluntarily. There was indeed one woman there, but I never understood for what purpose. It seems to me that she was alone and did not accompany anyone. However, I doubt that she passed the medical board.
