PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."Did you have to leave your job?
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #5: Well, technically, I did not leave yet, so they don't know that I went here. Tomorrow when we have Skype call, I'm going to surprise them.
TANIS: Like all the other men of fighting age who've tried to leave, he was questioned by authorities at the airport in Moscow.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #5: I saw a couple of people who got diverted from the floor and took to some separate room. Somehow, I have the feeling they were not allowed to leave.
TANIS: Unlike many others I spoke with who don't think they can go back to Russia ever again, this man says he will if Russia loses the war.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #5: Because we have to rebuild. We have to vote for new people who will choose a different way. And hopefully - I don't know - maybe when I am old.
TANIS: The one choice he could make now, he says, is to leave and not be forced to kill people in a war he doesn't believe in."...
