“There is no-way-in-H the State Department would permit Active Duty military inside Ukraine.”
Agree, they’re not active duty when working in Ukraine, they only return to active duty when they get back. We’re not THAT DUMB.
If they were on contract with some Wagner Group type they’d have a non-disclosure clause and wouldn’t be YouTubing it. Also, word would be out bigtime cuz there are many Iraq and AFGN veterans looking to get paid for their fix of adrenaline. But that’s not the case. Apparently there are enough UKRs to fight Russia all on their lonesome with some help from volunteers. Maybe it doesn’t take 10,000 Jack Reachers to defeat the Russian army.
“Agree, they’re not active duty when working in Ukraine, they only return to active duty when they get back.”
And your proof is what?
“...they’re not active duty when working in Ukraine, they only return to active duty when they get back.”
So, they are reservists when they are in Ukraine, and return to active duty when they leave Ukraine? Or, do they get temporary DOS (that’s Date of Separation), and then re-activate when they return? Please explain.
