There's a high chance this wasn't his choice at all. Due to depleted forces men on both sides of the conflict are getting press ganged into the military, and at least on the Russian side there's a lot of info out there of unit leaders taking bribes to place recruits into safer positions. Don't have enough cash, you go straight to the front lines.
