The Commander's Replacement Story

 I was watching German news last night, and some Ukraine-Russia war topic came.

So the way that this story goes.....Colonel X of a Russian unit got himself killed around ten days ago.  We don't know.....maybe the Ukrainians did him in....maybe his own Conscripts did it.  

Two days ago.....Colonel Y arrives (the replacement guy).  Somewhere in the first six hours or so, after dropping his bags off and settling into the job.....he got whacked dead.  You are left to wonder....did the Ukrainians do him in, or did his own Conscripts do it?

War works that way.  On the positive side....both gentlemen got a medal of courage, and it opens up the system for a third Colonel to step in (and maybe a 4th guy as well).
