The Russians seem to have a problem controlling their inner Viking/Mongol. Must plunder and pillage.

I dunno, I think it’s something common to armies through history. If you don’t pay or train your troops, they live off the land. They look at times like this as payday. Especially as conscripts.

It sucks for them when they come up against a well trained, well disciplined force.
