  A badly-funded meat grinder does not discriminate between surrendering and resisting meat. A well-funded meat grinder ignores the surrendering meat.
  A badly-funded meat grinder will be far worse than a well-funded one.
context: When I was in US grade school and high school,  they taught us that everyone was so angry and passionate before the Civil War that they immediately chose a side to fight on. 
  Then as an adult, I read "Battle Cry of Freedom" and it said hundreds to thousands of young men wanted nothing to do with it and were hiding out in hills and forests. >
  
  See “New York Draft Riots” >
  
  I mean, that was basically a race riot though… not quite the same >
  
  In that they blamed black people as the cause of their being drafted and so they killed them, sure.
  That's a bit like calling Krystalnacht a race riot.
  They were pretty one-sided "riots". >
  
  A race riot is by definition “a riot caused by racial dissensions or hatreds”… 
  Doesn’t matter if they’re onesided. 
  And no, it’s nothing like calling Krystalnacht one, that was a pogrom, an inherently organized governmental action. 
  A riot by contrast is unorganized, often relatively spontaneous, often escalating to violence like the draft riots. >
  
  Definately. The nail sticking up gets hammered.
  Internet connection, job, wife visiting to take him food. Not that hard to find him if they want to make a example of him. >
  
  Yea but I’m sure he is super low priority. Someone that eager to not fight and willing to go that far is someone who would surrender. >
  
  Indeed. They go for the low hanging fruits first.
  However, in rural places in Siberia they've been raiding locations in forests. Many people there have shacks, hunting cabins. But it's a region specifics. >
  
  Anything beats being ran through a well funded meat grinder >
  
  Even a badly funded one?
