He rushed to commit to something. Then he realized how shit it is being in that situation and got cold feet. How convenient he "hurt" his knee and was able to simply quit playing war on his first day in.

Listen, I don't necessarily think he should have been there in the first place but that's none of my business. However, if someone is going to commit to something then they should be expected to hold true to their word.

I'd like to be hopefull that he learned something valuable out of this but I think he's getting exactly what he wanted out of the deal.

Did he not fit in with the actual real Nazi people they have over there in the Ukraine army?

What an idiot. He even said he'd go back!

At least he had sense enough not to release his name. He probably found out it's a federal crime to enlist in a foreign military. I really wish they would prosecute people for this because it might stop others from going over there and dying.

People say that all the time. "Yeah and watcha gonna do about it?"

My answer is usually the same. "In practice, nothing."

First, I'm not a soldier, and neither are most other people.

Second, really, some peoples responses are "go start a militia!"

And they have no conception of what that means. Your average militia would be straight-up wiped out by even by a small marine recon team.

You don't have to be a soldier to understand war is brutal.

And unless you're deluded, anyone can grasp that even trained civilians aren't gonna have much of a chance against a profesional army, maternity-suit-airforce not withstanding.

It's not about guns or equipment. It's about combat-capable vehicles and aircraft with ordinances that can do zone denial. Even the ukrainians understood this (lol) which is why they begged for javelins and manpads. And on the topic of insurgency, a world away in afghanistan, no one should fool themselves on this: they lost gargantuan amounts of guys on the ground. Basically we only lost because we ran out of bullets (and dollars) to shoot at all the corpses of their guys and civilians. Hence the timeless turn of phrase: war is hell.

If thats anyones idea of winning, they should reevaluate just about every single time they feel like saying "yes but the taliban beat the soviets and the u.s. with AKs."

But like all 'extremists' according to the DHS, it must be understood that apparently, I too, imagine the glorious day that I may fight for freedom in the meat grinder of revolution and wars of independance "for democracy of course!":

I guess thats why they call us Americans burgers: Because thats what you are when you get boxed in by bombers like a hapless iranian republican guard or a drunk who stumbled into rush hour traffic, before being shredded like ground beef by daisy cutters dropped on your from six thousand feet.

And the outcome doesn't change no matter what your lasts words are, be they "allu akbar!" or "jesus christ!"
