smells a lot like black ops. I do hope his family will be taken care of one way or the other. 4 kids is a lot to take care of with one parent.

As usual blaming the Russians but lets ignore the English speaking mercenaries that are in Ukraine fighting for zelensky.
He didn’t blame Russia, he offered a thought experiment.
One thing to remember about US soldiers is they’re volunteers. You have to ask yourself what motivates them to do an incredibly hard job that doesn’t pay much (in direct cash) and demands more than the typical workplace.

For all we know he was real, and died fighting as a merc for Russia, but they changed the story to fit a narrative.
Or, if he was a SEAL, maybe he was actually recruited by the FBI/CIA and killed in a black ops mission fighting for God knows what end.

He went AWOL in 2019 Mike, so not to fight for Ukraine. He had his reasons, whatever they were, but going to fight the Russians wasn't it. Unless he was in Ukraine prior to the full blown invasion, fighting the Russians in the Donbas, which I didn't see in the article.

maybe he just got addicted to the madness of war.
felt more at home in chaos and death possibly
clearly had the want to fight and kill or be killed.
still sad that a father is dead.
