well, it's not incoherent to give a volunteer supplies, or even a basic stipend to cover supplies... If the 200,000 she mentioned was rubles, that's not even $2,200, that's not a soldier's pay, that's a small stipend—especially if they don't give you a uniform or even fucking feed you.

This feels so 1700s. Like the revolutionary war where the volunteers just kind of showed up with whatever they had.

In this context, volunteer means signed up voluntarily, rather than drafted. They're still paid.
