Something about this seems off….he’s just making an excuse to be with his other family for a month, right?
So this guy made a decision to go to ukraine and join the fight, but instead of doing that, he decided to call up the news and do a bunch of interviews first? Gotta get that pat on the back before you get killed?
I am deeply skeptical of people volunteering for a month or two. Especially since the information I saw required signing an up to three-year contract. (ends if the war ends.)
I don't know what he expects to do in 1 month. Or how he expects to be able to leave after he is in the country. If he can only commit to one month he is wasting everyone's time. Foreign legions are ARMIES, you can't just walk away after you are in a combat zone.
Look it is a feel-good story. But fellow combat veterans, help me out here. His expectations of war are entirely outside reality. This guy has never had a combat deployment before, I feel he really has no idea what combat deployments are like. Or combat for that matter.
I adore the yes ma’am. Soldier mentality but honorable people! God bless
Holy shit I went to basic with that guy lol
Utmost respect 💙💛
Hangover part 4 baby
Lmao. Gotta post about it on tik tik and go to the local news first! What a hero!
Brave Rifles brother! Till fiddlers green!
