You know, I used to work as a medic some 20 years ago. And there was this volunteer, 60something back then, probably long dead now. And once we sat together and for some reason we discussed the war. And one of my collegues asked that man, why they didn't run away. His answer was, there was always the chance to be shot in the back by an officer if you didn't move forward. That's how they indoctrinated them. And I'm sure it's not that different today. Combine it with peer pressure and you got your reason why they don't run.
