US Army veteran volunteers to train and fight with Ukrainians: 'These people inspire me every day'
Fox News ^ | 6/6/22 | Michael Lee

A U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq is now volunteering in Ukraine’s fight against Russia, training troops before they head to the front lines in defense of their country.

"These are ordinary civilians who, 1776 style, have decided to answer their nation’s call to duty," the Army veteran, who talked to Fox News on condition of anonymity due to concerns for his safety, said

But now the American finds himself close to the front lines of a different war, choosing to voluntarily travel to Ukraine to train their forces before potentially joining them on the front lines of the war against Russia.

He probably still believes he was fighting for freedom when he was in the service.

I mean assuming he really exists.

Becauae (sp) the failures in those countries was not due to tactics.

Sure, crap rolls downhill. So the generals got it right, leaving the fault to the troops?

He sure as hell won't be taking any advice from you, Pooty Boy.

This entire escapade is political theater to make shift the blame for high energy prices and hyper inflation from those responsible to a commie boogieman. The left is trying to force the “incredible transition” to the new improved carbonless economy without paying the price. All they need to do this is a distraction.

And why do they want a carbonless economy? Is it for “global warming”. Oh hell no! They know that is all fakery. It is all about control and shifting wealth to their cronies. The retirement you thought you had is becoming worthless while they become wealthy beyond imagination. While you are blustering about “Pooty Boys” you and everyone you know is being robbed blind.

Putin is more than willing to play his part as the villain because he and Russia are raking in more money for the role than anyone else in this giant charade. Whatever losses they are taking with men and equipment is a drop in the bucket compared to the massive increase in the amount of money they are now taking in, and they are able to blame any hardships their people might not be happy about on the "West". How convenient.

You, directing your anger at the Russians is exactly what Biden and company want you to do. Congratulations, you duped bozo. You, blustering around calling people names and feeling smug about it proves only that you are a gullible fool. You are focused on nonsense while your life savings and all of your freedoms are being stollen.

But thanks for the laughs. There is nothing more amusing than a complete idiot throwing around nonsensical insults.

This whole Ukraine thing stinks exactly the same way the COVID thing did and does. There are obvious amounts of disinformation and propaganda pouring out, and yet we still have so many people buying into the narrative unquestioningly, even to the point of becoming unhinged to see the narrative questioned. The shortage of independent thinkers is the doom of humanity.

“They are unwittingly fighting to advance the agenda of Biden and other one-worlders who are no better than Putin.”

Sad. Giving away your life for the deep state to molest kids and move their laundry money from bank to bank.

Why dont they get ready to go to Taiwan when the chinks invade, which is a matter of time now..

From the article: ""These are ordinary civilians who, 1776 style, have decided to answer their nation’s call to duty..."

That's an insult to the patriots who fought for freedom. Ukraine is a crime syndicate involving George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Jao Bai-din, Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi, John Kerry Jr., Christopher Heinz (Kerry), and Alex Vindman.

Some of that group actively lied, created a false impeachment, and committed treason in an attempt to overthrow a sitting U.S. president (Trump).

“Ohhhhhh...The war going badly for you? Maybe it's time you head over chickenhawk.”

Yes, it is a very good comment... Great imagery! With Az Joe's permission I would appreciate being able to incorporate at least part of it in my own replies to gullible fools who are helping to advance the Biden agenda.

Keep spouting off since this gets your rocks off. I probably agree with you on everything except Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Perhaps this valiant warrior could be inspired to volunteer to help secure OUR border.

... This is obviously true. If there is something else that we disagree on I have no idea what that would be. But what fun would it be if we always agreed on everything? So, you keep on calling people “Putie Boys” and I will keep chastising you about it, instead of kicking the dog. My pooch thanks you for your efforts.

You think the tactics used in those two wars came from him?

I’ve learned from the covid scam that 2/3’s of this country can be easily brainwashed by the media, and Ukraine is just a continuation of that. It’s scary how easily manipulated people are.

The tactics came from Washington just like Vietnam with the same results.

The soldier is weak on geo-politics...

...I suppose that’s by design of our marxist educators.
