It’s amazing how all the foreigners that are captured or killed on the Ukrainian front lines are cooks, truck drivers or medics.
Was probably murdered by Ukrainians looking to take his wallet.
Interesting name for a Non-Governmental Organization. “I work for G.O.D.” “I am The Man from G.O.D.” “You might say I am G.O.D.’s Top Dog.”
Not to deny his bravery but me thinks that his more than that. In over 75% of cases involving a person in his situation may well see his pay thru State regardless of his job agency.
Very sad. I’ve seen too many of these make-up-your-own-NGO and pay-yourself-to-have-an-adventure folks get themselves into serious trouble or even killed. Yes, it’s fine, perhaps even noble, go want to help those in danger and distress, but please work for a legitimate organization with established channels and protocols. You can’t help anyone from the grave after all.
Over 20 years of war has been bad for America. A class of war lovers is out there. They seek conflict like other kids look for an antenna or cliff to parachute off of. You see it in the new pickup trucks... seems like every other one is flat olive green or desert tan. Every third guy is sporting their “operator” beard.
The gun stores suck anymore too. I used to enjoy walking through stored or a gun show. You could sometimes find a nice older gun, a minty old Smith and Wesson or Colt. A nice early rifle. Last two I walked into was an endless row of soul less block rifles. And the display cases were filled with identical black pistols. Everything was festooned with tacticool and war fighting gear.
These wars have done some damage here at home and launched a fetish. That fetish claimed the life of this guy. Anything for a war selfie with a beard.
Every deer rifle is a skeletonized sniper rifle clone. Youtube abounds with videos of guys with such rigs blasting an elk from 800 yards or whatever and having it tumble down a cliff.
They aren’t hunting, they are pretending to be snipers.
Every sane society knew that war was very bad for the home front. That seems to have been lost as an idea.
Kid threw away his life. But at his age, he has swam in this stuff his whole life.
LOL - US Marine Corp rifleman, has been around the world, now with an NGO, coincidently at the site of the most intense fighting in the entire war.
Oh, and there hasn’t been a “civilian” anywhere near Bakhmut in at least 8 months. The place has been under constant shelling since the summer.
This guy is “sheep-dipped.”
this is the propaganda used to cover-up American casualties there.
