KYIV -- The average lifespan on the frontline of the fierce fighting in the city of Bakhmut is "four hours," according to an American fighting side by side with the Ukrainian army against Russian forces in the Donbas.
Former U.S. Marine Troy Offenbecker, of Michigan, told ABC News that the situation in the city, which has seen some of the deadliest fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion, is "chaotic" and has been dubbed "the meat grinder."
"It's been pretty bad on the ground," he told ABC News. "A lot of casualties. The life expectancy is around four hours on the frontline."

When Ukraine starts to fold the USA/Poland will send in the troops and enforce the No Fly Zone—then the real war will start. It will be called the Humanitarian Expeditionary force, to save the Children. But, it will be a desire to bloody Ivan nose and teach Putin who is boss. There will be come spectacular victories at first, but then will come reversals! Wait till the Duma declares war on USA and Poland. Then the nations of the earth will start to pick sides and America will see how many real friends we have.
Indeed. Battle is an attempt to impose some sort of order on the inherent chaos of armed strife.
How does one calculate live expectancy on the front line being 4 hours in a “chaotic” situation?
One must first be an excellent bull-shitter.
One simplify makes it up. It’s a “WAG”. Wild ass guess.
I’m not cheering anyone on.
I just know enough of Ukraine to know they’re not the good guys either. I look at who’s supporting them. Meanwhile, looks like war is broken out on US soil with all the “coincidences”.

That's how my father described WWII.
When is combat fighting not chaotic???????????????
WAG as opposed to SWAG, eh?
The Ukraine war is just a charade to distract world attention from the progress of the great reset.
• the Ukraine is the expendable stomping ground of the phony war
• it particularly suits Biden as all evidence of previous money laundering schemes is being destroyed
• again it suits Biden/Obama as American resources/will/patience are being destroyed
• we are being gamed on so many levels by the elites that it obfuscates any real view of their progess to one world government
• classical “look but don’t see” scenario
• every day the rings on our collective neck are being drawn tighter
• so many of the clues appear here on FR but they are not being correlated
• the focus is too narrow
It’s their love of Putin. Either that or they’re just Russians spreading manure.
Almost 2,000 Chinese were caught at our southern border in 2022. No to mention Russians.
Actually, you got it just backward.
The Ukraine tried and tested tactic is to back off, allow a small salient to form and then kill all the attackers. The Russians having no commanders close to the battlefield get sucked in and then killed every time. The successful tactic has been used over and over and over for months now.
Bahkmut is now a salient and the Russians are thinking they will close the envelopment. Unfortunately, theu lack the combat wherewithal to do the job
Just watch video of small drones armed with gernads dropping on soldiers in dug outs on the front line......thousands are dying in this war on both sides.
Not many. Everyone hates us. They will accept our money though.
Not to mention all the Islam too. This won’t end well.
Too many entering our company that would do us harm - sent by other nations for that purpose.
Some also say other nations are emptying out their mental wards and jails - sending them over our border. So we’ve got some serious problems here and to come.
