The radicalized son of a CIA director was killed last year while allegedly fighting for Russia in Ukraine, according to a new investigation.
Michael Alexander Gloss, the 21-year-old son of the CIA’s Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss and a Navy veteran father, was killed on the front lines after enlisting in the Russian army, according to a lengthy investigation by independent Russian outlet Important Stories.
Gloss’ obituary said his “fiercely beautiful life … was taken from us during his travels overseas” on April 4, 2024, without detailing exactly how
“With his noble heart and warrior spirit Michael was forging his own hero’s journey when he was tragically killed in Eastern Europe,” the obit said.
Before leaving on his travels, Gloss shared images of him giving the finger to the White House — and also video of a burning flag.
Border service data showed that he crossed into Russia via Georgia in August 2023, sending photos of his adventures to a group chat of friends in the “Rainbow Family,” a loose-knit, counter-culture “hippie” group, according to Important Stories.
That September, Gloss appeared in Russia’s Unified Medical Information and Analytical System of Moscow, where his address was listed as a medical examination room at an Army contract recruitment point on Yablochkova Street — the same address given to foreign mercenaries who arrive in Moscow to join Russian forces in the Ukrainian conflict, according to the report.

Happens on both sides. Those engaged on either side
like this deserve nothing more. What an idiot!
First time I’ve ever seen that.
Cannon fodder, hoisted by his own petard.
Like other Americans who chose to fight for both sides, they wasted their lives in a proxy war with Russia, while helping to make investors in the military industrial complex wealthier than they already are. Sucks to be them.
There are horrible consequences when people forgo traditional values and embrace neo pagan, hedonistic decadence. Sadly there no longer exists within America a consensus of commonly held values to truly unite us. Democrats, this misguided youth and many others do not exist in a cultural, political or social vacuum. They are numerous and control huge sectors of modern day America. Can the average Freeper really ever picture themself in a fox hole next to any of them? One day very soon this question must be answered.
During the last days of the Biden Crime Family Administration, and the Biden Captive CIA Traitor Administrators.
Rainbow Family ? Those hippies ?
ANTI AMERICAN PARENTS!!!! FIRE THEM!!! THEY ARE NOT FOR AMERICA!!
He gave the FINGER to the USA....WHERE HIS PARENTS WORK FOR OUR GOVT>and BURNED OUR FLAG!!
He was too stupid to become a productive citizen.
“during his travels overseas” he just disappeared
World-traveling supposedly “headless” supposedly “antiwar” organization [or front group?] that has been around throughout the Cold War. Interesting that one of them would want to be a mercenary for Russia.
...Were it not for their gatherings numbering in the tens of thousands, the odd murder (here) and the heaps of trash they leave behind, Rainbow Family remains as elusive to the authorities as the so-called Bigfoot. “The Associated Press reported 600 members of the Rainbow group are already camped near Flagtail Meadow in the park, but Malheur National Forest officials are expecting between 10,000-30,000 to arrive by July 4. “The group refused to sign a special use permit, required for groups of more than 75. The group has noted that it claims no leader, and consequently there is no one to sign such permits.” Even their website homepage is “unofficial”. The Rainbow group doesn’t gather only in American forests, they stage gatherings in Belgium, Israel, France, Mexico and Canada. “Started in the late 1960s as an outgrowth of the anti-war and hippy movements, the Rainbow Family of Living Light describes itself as “the largest, best coordinated, nonpolitical nondenominational nonorganisation of like-minded individuals on the planet. (Vice.com, June 24, 2014)
“ The flagship Rainbow Family Gatherings, which have occurred every July since 1972 in a different US national forest, are like longer, more authentically weird versions of Burning Man, bringing together upwards of 10,000 “Rainbows” from a cross section of fringe culture: bikers, Jesus freaks, computer programmers, naked yogis, and gutter punks looking to escape “Babylon,” the Rainbow shorthand for the various evils of modern life. The gatherings are free and open to anyone....
More likely - volunteered, went to the lines, got liquidated, stripped and body tossed into the mobile crematory, with ashes dumped in ditch by the side of the road.
Stupidity is its own punishment.

I agree, this is not our war and Americans are foolish to add their names to the ranks of the maimed or KIA.
