This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

***Soviet Union and yeah. Stalin had his 5 year plan(s). So there was a huge labor demand. This is opening a whole other massive topic that is to long to type on mobile. You can't think in a modern conscription sense. The Army was likely the only job around for most, 3 squares and place to live. The great depression wasn't just in the US so you can see how it would be easy to get sucked in. Add in Nationalism and Fascism, bitterness from devastation of WWI. Some saw this as a national duty to rearm and rebuild the army. So they would be looking for young men from every territory for labor/soldiers/sailors. I mean you can look basically any where on earth during the 30s and see that everyone was just getting ready for round 2
