“War is young men dying and old men talking
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
One old man particular, F Putin.”
“My little cousin just turned 22 last week. He is partially Ukrainian and left America almost exactly one year ago to fight. I found out a few hours ago he was killed, but the details haven’t been disclosed. The embassy is trying to send his body/remains back but we don’t know what to expect. I’m so proud of him, but so conflicted on losing him. I just need to tell someone, as my family isn’t talking about it yet. I hope this doesn’t conflict with the rules of this sub, I just needed to get it out before I spiral. He goes by Eli if anyone wants to know”
