      Don’t call them Orcs. Don’t dehumanize them. Orcs are born evil. These Russian soldiers have a choice. They choose to be evil.

        If you were in their shoes you’d act the same way. It’s not a choice. They’re humans just like everyone else. It’s the culture, environment and circumstances that lead them to act the way they do. It’s not to excuse the bad behaviour. It’s just a bit naive to think we would act differently because we’re so much more moral than them. That’s just fantasy
