I wonder if getting there chit together includes promoting more colonels to replace lost generals?

Putin loses ANOTHER top commander: Black Sea Fleet captain, 51, is ‘shot dead near Mariupol’ in latest hammer blow for invading troops

Ukraine claimed today that its forces had shot dead the deputy commander of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in another significant blow to Vladimir Putin's forces.

First rank captain Andrey Paliy, 51, is the only senior naval officer allegedly killed in the war in Ukraine, although Kyiv claims to have slain five army generals.

snip...

Paliy's death appeared to be confirmed by a Russian friend, Konstantin Tsarenko, secretary of the public council of the Sevastopol Nakhimov Naval School, although it has not been officially acknowledged by Moscow.

One account said that he had been involved with Russian marines attacks near Mariupol.

Here is a Russian source as confirmation (needs to be translated from Russian):

3. I think you're right.

I grabbed a photo of a CNN graphic showing FIVE Russian generals who'd been killed, as recently as this morning (9:30-ish):

Major General Andriy Kolesnikov
Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky
Major General Vitaly Gerasimov
Major General Oleg Mityaev
Lieutenant General Andrei Mordvichev

So this latest news adds a new name to the list. Not a general, though. First Rank Captain Andrey Paliy is the newest casualty. According to the OP, he's the only senior naval officer allegedly killed in the war in Ukraine so far, a commander of the Black Sea fleet. Not a general, though, so there is that.

Why do we have to do anything.
Couldn't 'we' USA just sit back and watch?

Why is it our war or our fault?

What are you preparing to do?

She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock clings
To her wet body in the rain.
In quiet desperation knuckles
White upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys Goodbye again.
