English-Estonian translations for cannon fodder

  • kahurilihaAfganistani politseid kirjeldati meile hiljuti põhimõtteliselt kui Talibani kahuriliha. The Afghan police were described to us recently as basically cannon fodder for the Taliban. Neist on saanud, ilma et nad ise seda mõistaksid (kuid mina nägin seda), orjad organisatsioonis, mis ei lase neid iialgi vabaks. Nad on kahuriliha ühes mõttetus sõjas. They will become, without realising it (but I have seen it), the slaves of an organisation that will never let them go; they are cannon fodder in a senseless war. Lühidalt öeldes, kui tahame arendada teadusuuringuid ja tehnoloogiat, siis on meil tarvis need kindlustada, me ei saa anda euroskeptikutele kahuriliha, nagu me teeme niisuguste segaste projektidega. In short, if we want to promote research and technology, we need to back it, we cannot give cannon fodder to the eurosceptics, as we are doing with such an incoherent project.
