- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Around 20,000 foreign fighters are believed to have joined Ukraine's Foreign Legion to fight Russia. Among the stories of combat, accounts have emerged of volunteers leaving traumatized and disillusioned. Foreign fighters have said units lack organization and equipment, and some volunteers have dubious motives.

Many of US ex military guys are looking for meaning and purpose. Our own countries are being destroyed by corrupt politicians but instead of organizing locally, correcting our own communities some are directing this energy on behalf of corrupt regimes half a world away. Solving our problems at home are much more difficult in some ways but far more important
@@spencer5028 bingo.
Are the pro-Russian civilians be sent to extermination or concentration camps after Ukrainian takeover?
@SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION Just not the criminals who were exonerated to fight in the war
I would even say that those are the responsible for committing the crimes mentioned by the volunteer in the interview
@@spencer5028 that is rude when I see this American there comeing to kills this young Russian Why? Why he come not get better job to do in American if he thinks it his country his better athan Russian
This dude has been fighting in wars for 18 years. Absurd amount of combat for one man to endure. He has the voice to match.
Thanks for watching man. I’m just a regular dude doing dumb guy shit 😂 Hope all is well on your end
@@Tiger_in_Ukraine Good to see you are still alive my friend. God bless
Pretty sure he's a heavy smoker. Surely not everyone is cut out to be in combat for most of their adult life. It takes all kinds.
It is true he has some years of fighting in some wars but he has not fought in a war against a modern military like Russia. The Taliban and the insurgents in Iraq didn't have planes and helicopters taking you out verses we as a modern military had all of that and used it on their rag tag forces. All of those men who went to Ukraine must have been craving action just not the big action Russia used on them. A lot of volunteers who went to Ukraine were killed in the war and Ukraine does not pay to have their remains sent back to their home country so that money has to come from volunteers in the USA and those other countries. Another bad thing for these guys if captured by the Russians is they are not recognized as POW's under the Geneva Convention the same way the US didn't recognized the Taliban. In Ukraine you don't have the support to save your butts like air and artillery fire and the medical service is lacking until you make it to one of their big hospitals. It is so hard to train and change the Ukrainian militaries way of fighting and that is the big reason why thousands of their troops are killed every month. Guys like this man are different than i am Ukraine could not pay me a high wage to join in their fight against the Russians. The Russians are winning and defeating Ukrainian forces in a fast pace now. Unless NATO does a stupid move and steps into fight the Russians this war and fighting will be over in less than a year from now. Every one find you a news source that does not lie about how the Ukrainian's are defeating the Russians none of that is true. All those F-16's will not help Ukraine much because they have no support to protect the F-16's from being shot out of the sky. All those worthless sanctions hardly made a dent in the Russian economy. I don't support Russia in this war against a weaker Ukraine never ever. There is a lot that we don't know because of keeping it a secret from public. I have some news sources from both sides of this war that i rely on to find out the truth of how the war is really going. I have not watched any of the West and main stream media news in over a year because of their one sided agenda i find to be pure false reporting. This here is how i see things from my point of view and i get very little of it wrong. We all have opinions and that's ok whether we are right from wrong
The voice of a cxm guzzler
Feels like a man that can never return to regular society.
Better than to support some LGBT stuff and running around with far left people

The sheep in this comment section do well to encourage war-loving behavior by feeling bad for someone who made the decision to be a willful and compliant participant.]
He will always be looking for the next war to fight in until he gets killed. I don't think he can live a normal life
Nah. He just has to repent of his evils.

I'm 55 years old. I've raised a family. I've seen a lot and survived a lot.
At this point in my life I'm totally convinced that some people are just born to fight. Whatever the cause or reason, some people are just born to fight.
Nobody is born to. They are made into this through judicious application of parental techniques that cause childhood trauma.
some are naturally skilled, but its not our nature. its the nature of our political systems we perpetuate and amplify differences until shit boils over, and then blood becomes the real currency until there is no war.
*Born to kill. War is all about killing people

Most truthful piece of information about war
If Ukraine would not have killed 15000 russian language speakers in Donbas since 2014, would there be any war now? Ukraine also burned alive cca 100 russian speakers in Odesa prior this war and so on.....,would there be any war , if Ukraine did not do those horrible things in past?
Could Mexico try to make a military deal with Russia and China in order to let Russia and China to built some military bases inside Mexico? Would USA like that, or decide to fight Mexico?
Did USA and U.K. commited genocide, when they killed cca 1000.000 (!!!) people in Iraq for NO REAL REASON at all? Send me your theory please.

Only if you haven’t done your research. lol
i can understand if you are drafted... just like the 50-60 yr olds in ukraine getting drafted meanwhile coke head begger zelinksy is out shopping with his wife.
you signed up to fight!!! you could have worked hard like... become a salesman, a business owner... but no all these "vets" CHOSE TO BE COMANDO. kinda dumb to be honest. when i was 18 that's why i was trying to join infantry for army and marines. be a play solider. i saved myself indirectly by getting in trouble with weed earlier.(2013)
you can really tell how all these soilders are not smart...
as bunch of them say i joined cuz of 9/11. you didnt watch how tower 7 fell with out nothing hitting it. ya ya ya ya shut up and do what your told sheep.
Wow so deep
lmfao
Holy shit this man’s whole adult life, basically, has been war. Idk it’s sort of mind boggling to me. I hope my guy here is okay in health and sanity.
He is a addicted killer, here, there,right or wrong
Robert Fisk has been covering warzones since he was 25.
Thats 45 years from Cambodia to ISIS.
Its the journalists who see more.
He's probably an adrenaline junkie. I'm not saying this as a bad thing. But it's one thing to join the military to defend your homeland; it's another to constantly seek firefights. At least he's using this to combat terrorists and dictators.

@@cellardoor7108 it always catches up to you. Not If, when.
Hey Willie, I am a graduate historian that has done a number of oral history interviews with veterans in the United States. They ranged from World War II to the war on terror. This was a phenomenal interview and an excellent insight into the life of a foreign legion soldier. this is a beautiful primary source and I would love to see more of these interviews from all sorts of different perspectives.
You handle these interviews very well. unlike other channels that interview people during this conflict, you do not interrupt your subjects which I find extremely refreshing. you ask the questions and they tell the story. The job of an interviewer is to listen more than to talk. That is why I find your interviews so engaging. It’s their story first and foremost.
I had to rack my brain while watching to find a whole lot to critique. Perhaps allowing soldiers to explain their stories in chronological order rather than simply a list of questions and perhaps a better mic for yourself might be my only thoughts. But all of these questions were phenomenal and the answers were excellent. Great work as always.
Quiet down
@@79dmcjr I can’t hear your comment. Could you speak louder when writing?
Yeah the interviewer's mic definitely needs some extra love lol. I had to rewind a few times to try to understand the question here and there.
it’s a minor critique considering where he is and what he will have access to. it was about one of the only things I could critique him on though. Haha
A good lapel mic would suffice and considering he works along with Funker 530, I would’ve hoped they would’ve pulled together good interviewing equipment. he’s been in and out of heavy combat zone so I guess I will lend him some slack.
Check out the Shawn Ryan Show if you like this kind of style interview and don't know him already. Much longer interviews though but well worth it.
This is how a dangerous man talks. A quiet voice, not yelling or bragging, or emotional, just stoic.
The amount of fanboys all over a guy who refers to himself as “the tiger of ukraine” lmao..
dude really wants people to worship him and there are enough gullible people here who believe it..
You watch too many movies
@@billbillson5082my callsign is from almost being killed by a wild tiger in Malaysia. You're pretty opinionated, I'm wondering if you'd have the gall to say your true feelings about me in person or just over a keyboard?
@@Maximusdecimus649 Ok, Gladiator lol.
@@Tiger_in_Ukraine I think you are honest with your core intentions and why you are where you are. Maybe you want to be seen for that, but thats hardly an anomaly. Social media is everywhere partly because of that inner need to portray value. Its completly normal.
This guy is very credible and considerate in his answers and observations. He makes clear the difference between what he's actually seen and what he's only heard from others. He makes it clear the things are a matter of his opinion, vice hard facts.
Willy. This is the type of things I personally like to see. You absolute legend for producing this, keep up the hard work and try to get some more interviews as I really enjoyed watching this one. 👍
Thankyou so much for the feedback mate! I'll definitely do more :(
@@willyOAM Appreciate you. When I put everything together form various sources, including yours I am just left thinking how stupid war is :(
there is no way to verify this mans identity or any of his claims. take it all with a grain of salt.
Yous people are sheep listening the so called poor meeees these people are fighting for the west paid bye the west you need to try think for your self stop being a sheep for the west
@@cwg9238 yeah, this Troy guy has to be CIA Psy Ops loser.
He literally starting bunch half truths and provable lies.
Amnesty International reported that ukrainians live using civilians as human shields and hiding in hospitals and schools, and this loser is claiming Russians are just targeting civilians for no reason.
And his classroom about nuclear power plant is even more ridiculous.
Glad I grew up with a dad who was in the military so I didn’t think actual combat was like call of duty or battlefield. That was made VERY clear
You seem young enough from your profile pic, I have a question, you play games, you die a lot, yes? How can you actually want that? It makes no sense to me to compare to Call of Duty in the first place.
WOW call of duty WOW
@@ajstyles5704 Where did the OP say that he wants any war, anywhere, or to be a part of it? His father was a soldier, sailor, or airman, and taught his son the reality of this experience.
I understand how kids see combat "like CoD" because their exposure to how wars work is curated by entertainment, for entertainment, and it serves to keep enlistment up and faith in the US Armed Forces high.
They have seen war movies where men survive unrealistically and they're taught that if you are a super slick highly skilled operator, you will be infinitely more likely to stay alive. Same in the games they play and that's their only exposure to war - of course they don't understand it, no more than I understand how farms operate because I am not a farmer.
They see that in, pretty much, any piece of entertainment they engage in that involves main characters who are involved in the military, the good guys with the greatest skill survive.
We have games now like "Verdun" and "Hell Let Loose" which demonstrate a lot more of the tension, the bleakness, and the general waste of life that war has been across WW1 and WW2 specifically:
But how many people, kids gaining an exposure to military concepts, will play a game where you sit for half an hour in a trench then die brutally from artillery shelling?
@@AdamOwenBrowning I'm asking him about the youths, not him specifically, not saying he wants war.
Games have next to 0 value in real conditions except emotions, but in a war it will be 10x stronger.
In movies, we know its not real explosions, and yet, there are people that actually have to come out and say it.
@@ajstyles5704 He probably means the pew pew pew Call of Duty experience. Some people probably expect a loading screen also once they arrive at the barracks. No artillery or tanks shooting at you, you just shoot noob Russians like the protagonist of a videogame.
The real enemies are in suits, shaking hands and smiling for photo ops while countless suffer.
But people like this think it's the Russian people.
You are right !
Absolutely and they feel or experience any of the horrible things that the men fighting the war feel for the rest of their lives
@@jnrodriguez11it is indeed a large portion of the Russia people. You have not lived with them like I did. So you have no idea at all
That's why their boss
Every video you put out Willy. I can see that you are getting better and better with interviews. And just general videography is on point. So keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing what comes next. God bless you and the people you come across! Stay safe brother!
Thankyou mate! I am just grinding away at it! Thankyou mate
@@willyOAM I'm doing what I can to spread your work here in Brazil, I know that raising awareness doesn't pragmatically change a thing for you guys, but at least we can stop the wrong messages to prevail in people's minds.
This is the guy I would want going over there to fight. He knows how fucked up war is and he knows what it takes to win a fight. I'm willing to bet a solid 50-60% of "volunteers" that arrived when this started knew jack shit about infantry tactics and just wanted to post a few clout photos on their social media to say "hey look how badass I am" Most of those guys ran for the hills when they saw what war looked like and the rest learned the hard way and died on account of their own stupidity and lack of knowledge on what they were about to experience.
nah lol most of the dudes who went to ukraine were killers, some went for clout but the majority are killers
Most of those guys are probably dead.
I don’t really think it’s clout the severity of the Ukrainian war is crazy, if Russia ever pushed to poland it’s a repeat of what hitler did in WW2. In this era we just have cell phones with ability to post pictures for the world to see, I thjnk it’s more of awareness there’s another TH-camr I watch who joined the fight shows Russia is bombing Apartment Buildings, malls etc instead of shaming people who might’ve died for the good of Ukrainian people, should be honoring them for having the courage most wouldn’t do
there is no way to verify this mans identity or any of his claims. take it all with a grain of salt.
What about people with no military training but want to go out and help? Just with first aid training? Because if it was my country I'd want people to help me if it's one person you help surely it's a success? I'm genuinely curious to your opinion on people that want to go out and help medically?
Unfortunately this is the bad guy
I've lived long enough to earn that title 🤘🏻
Yeah I'll never forget the interview with that Ukrainian Captain POW talking about how many foreigners and mercenary's got scared and quit going back home after spending not long at all in Ukraine. He actually laughed and said that they thought it would be like Afghanistan or Iraq. But once they Seen and felt the artillery and how much pressure was on them they couldn't handle it
That’s pretty accurate but a decent number of us have stuck it out.
Got a link?
@@genegene7028 it was on Telegram months ago I didn't save it. I will look
I wouldn't have wasted my time personally. Former 0311 here. I wonder what he thinks of Zelensky and the money he gets. And back in the States, you got to claim ptsd to get paid for service in war. I never claimed ptsd and I bet the Ukrainian military doesn't waste their time with silly American rules.
I hope you still alive and feel good. Thanks for your service:)
I like his courage but this talk about Russians pulling back during a good fire fight and bombing the shit out of it is kinda two faced. The US army does that shit all the time...
We did it against insurgents. 1st Gulf War is a prime example of US just steam rolling an enemy.

@@blakebrown534 freedom First, USA IS for war in whole europe
@@blakebrown534🤘🤘🤌🏼
@@blakebrown534Why must Russia leave? You heard the man being interviewed. Some Ukrainians want the Russians there why leave? American influence is not needed in the Russian sphere of influence, in all seriousness NATO should leave. Would you like it if Russia came back to Cuba or had serious influence in Canada? No, you wouldn’t (as I am assuming you might be from the U.S) Kennedy asked the Russians to leave Cuba to avoid nuclear war and with this agreement and peace talks, the Russians left. Unlike the U.S and NATO who disregard peace talks with the Russians (set forth by the Russians to prevent this war) So, @esposesposa5999 is correct on this one. The NATO alliance and the U.S are warmongers. They want this war to make money and kill Ukrainian men, women and children so that the lives of U.S men, women and children are not lost. This is a U.S proxy and the man in the interview is on the wrong side of the war and the history.

@@SkeletalMisunderstanding painting all the people into single Color is very convenient , but unreal. Pretty sure 85+% of Ukrainians would be happy to see Americans help us.

I was about to comment thar 100 this man even sounds like the real deal
I spent close to a decade in the US Army and this man is most likely the real deal. No red flags come up during this interview. He for sure fits the bill of a real operator. If someone could slink as low as to dress up and put on a show like this for some unknown, not talked about TH-cam channel, that's some bottom feeding, straight slimeball shit that I can't honestly believe a grown man would go through with a charade like this. I'd say this dude found out in Iraq that he likes combat and some people get a taste of it and spend their whole lives living in those memories. Probably spent the last half a decade reliving Iraq and saw a chance to chase that dragon once again. I would say this guy is legit, every word and how he conducts himself screams combat veteran.
Awesome dude to interview, thanks for this. Also, my channel has a lot of the same Russian bots, I know you see those and have to filter them out like I do, just know we are all being targeted by the same comments copy and pasted over and over.
No point worrying about them. They just make themselves look stupid when they post

Quite right--war is never Call of Duty. It's disgusting and terrifying. No one emerges from it unscathed, not even the victors. From my dad's WWII generation to my young relatives who deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, this has been a constant, a truth that is never advertised for very obvious reasons.
Actually there's people who emerge from war not only unscathed but a whole lot richer. America is a prime exemple where that type of mentality flourishes and that type of people and industrie never stops. The US loves the racket of war.

Thank you, give em' Hell, & stay safe, dude!
Sounds to me like the command doesn't want to risk ever losing this guy and his team to a minute task which is why they're not utilizing them often. All it takes is one drone/shelling strike and that's it. This guy i'm positive is what is referred to as a 'pipe hitter' it sounds like his qualifications run deep. Sheesh...not the type of guy you want hunting you down.
What's terrifying about him is how clinical he is about it. Understandably (and I say this as a veteran who never saw combat), he's got tons of combat experience, so he's proven himself in those situations, but just how calmly he's able to dispassionately assess operations is telling. I'd listen to this guy if I were the Ukrainians.

American soldiers are only effective in Hollywood movies. That's a fact.

Drone pilots nervously sweating all over Ukraine. Lmao what a stupid jarhead. Was it a good fight when A-10 Thunderhawks came in BRRT-in the Taliban all over Kandahar? I think he is hungry, someone get him a box of crayons. This was the modus operandi for the US in Korea. They bombed the shit out of the N Koreans and Chinese.
Exactly, big difference between conventional warfare and asymmetrical warfare.
Well he must not REALLY like the new FABS if he didn't like the arty.
I thinn he means that the russians arent in hurry to win. They are slower and less aggressive to take ground. Imagine a 5hr fistfight with 30 minutes rest in between every 15min of fighting, instead of a good 10min limit scrap. One is much more painful and unnecessarily prolonged.
Lol, it's ironic because his country's military doctrine leads with air power like how they did in Iraq.

It's been 4 minutes of watching so far and damn.. i can already tell this MAN has seen more them most people could barely imagine. He seems like he thrives in this environment. Keep doing it man!
Damn bro i wish my dad could of lived longer off his cancer ... i guess you are living your best life for him aswell as others who didnt make it out. I fully respect you sir willy. Lookin fowars for new content since you arent BIAS and always seeking for the real truth
These interviews are gold and will become even more valuable as time goes on not many people are doing them. something that occurred to me while listening to this is around the question soldiers get 'why are you here'. The implication behind this question is that there needs to be some sort of special higher purpose which of course can be the case but I think the general public need to recognize and respect that this is their profession it would be like asking a firefighter why they go to fight fires.
The only difference is that an american firefighter will not go to Ukraine to extinguish a fire. In my personal opinion (maybe I am totally wrong) many of the foreign fighters (especially those who fought in Iraq and Syria) are kind of addicted to the war and like to be there. It gives them a meaning to their life, something that they cannot achieve in civilian life. Maybe I am wrong, but I think many of these guys are in Ukraine, because they are viewing it as adventurous. But when they realized that they aren't fighting some cigarrete sellers with AK47s, and that this war is mainly won by artillery, a lot of them left.
@@WarPicturesEntertainment this may be right but we need to recognise that it is their profession and expect and respect that they will look for wars to fight in and as much we hate to admit it we need these kind of people from time to time.
@@warwick.schaffer I agree with you. Some can disagree and say that its wrong to fight in another countries war, but who are we to judge? This guy definately have more life experience than most of "normal" people on this earth. He is a grown man and he made his decision. 👍🏼
Though thousands of young man were the opposite of this man. They never seen any combat and went to Ukraine for some adventures and to make some photos/videos of them to show how cool they are for the people back home. Thats ignorance for me, because they are not only a threat for themselves, but also for other soldiers. But thats of course another story.
@Solar Warden
Of course the scenario in your comment may be the case in some instances, but this guy is there because he thinks it’s the right place for him to be, it’s not just a job.
JMHO.
Probably because "I enjoy being paid to murder people" doesn't make you or your chosen "profession" look very heroic even if true
America has no business been on Ukrain territory. Hello ??
America isnt in ukraine, its americans. And they actually got invited unlike the ruzziana.

This guy drank the biden coolaid.
38:00 To no fault of his own he is very wrong there.
Being a grunt with relatively little (going by his mis-understanding russian helicopter defenses) technical knowledge he might think not seeing russian planes could be "holding back".
Its more that they are controlled by air defense. Both sides have far better anti-air than the other side has air assets, which means neither side can really penetrate enemy airspace at anything but ridiculous cost. So they don't.
Exactly
This is probably the most open and honest interview I've seen about not just this war, but any war.
He is still a paid mercenary, he has points he can't discuss, from the whole interview you probably learned there is no structure and that's it. We already know that. This is an open application for more experienced fighters, he just repeats the MSM viewpoints, if you find any value in that, go ahead, stuff enough out there.
If you want an honest view about this war, check Scott Ritter (ex intelligence marines, ex weapon inspector UN).
Really? he's complaining about Russians killing civilians after they killed over 1,000,000 arabs in Iraq and Afghanistan...
Absolute joke!

Why fight another country’s war?🤣

@@Tiger_in_Ukraine oh please do explain the correlation of going to fight a war that has nothing to do with the United States…. You know… a war NATO started lmao
The US started this war when the CIA overthrew Porshenkko and we broke the Minsk accords in 2014
"Why fight for a righteous cause" - I found the bootlicker.
"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." - Teddy Roosevelt.
Interesting, if he would have heard on the news in 2015, about Ukraine shelling civilians in Luhansk and Donetsk, he would be on the other side of the conflict
He says himself that there are people who want to be part of Russia. Is this a reason to shell your own regions? This whole thing makes no fckin sense
Once Chechens didn’t want to be a part of Russia. I guess, according to you, it wouldn’t be a reason for them to be bombed by Russia. Yet they were bombed almost out of existence.
@@gennadiyleyfman6920 Not being part of Russia is not a problem until the said country start working with the opposition to undermine is the real problem. take Belarus for example, Belarus cooperate with Russia letting them use their borders to conduct attacks you might see that as being slave-like and vassalship but in reality, it is really just being an ally.
This guy is pure the real deal worrier. You can see it and hear it in him
That was really awesome interview. I have huge respect for people like Troy. You can see he is very strong, yet kind and humble. He looks extremely exhausted though.

@@bobjones-bt9bh tf you talking about
I’m a combat vet. The reason why he is there is that he is a grunt, and as grunts, we just kick doors and take names. He was bored as shit and needed it to be productive.
Task and purpose.
Guy is chasing wars for an adrenaline rush.
@@WilliamHolden-t5gYou don’t know what motivates this guy. Speculating = talking out of your ass
LOL.
Grunts are also pawns and cannon fodder fuelled by propaganda.
this man saw war evolve literally as he on the battlefield. Went from blitzing through the desert, hunting down terrorists and watching out for civilians. Now here, he has to constantly loom out for drones, and other weapons used in todays warfare, he literally saw COMBAT EVOLVE. I cant see how any person could return to normal life after this
Lots of whiskey...
@@Tiger_in_Ukrainelol
Don't forget to drink water
Lots of ‘commenters’ here are n TH-cam need to listen. This ain’t call of duty
The most real part of the video is when he's asked about the reality of war and says "honestly I don't really want to be here either but I just feel the need, like I have to people that tell you they enjoy war they're probably bullshitting you, so if you haven't been around it [looks dead into camera] stay the fuck away."
It's sad to hear that he's fallen for the obvious Ukie propaganda like Bucha, but given the lock step misinformation broadcast by the media, it's almost understandable.
Are we the baddies?
Don’t think there is a good side in this one.
I wonder if this dope ever realized he wasn't the hero in his "good guys versus the bad guys" myth?
Hello from France, I have immense respect for this honest, decent, responsible, respectful soldier who is not there to put on a show but because he is convinced that what he is doing is right and good. I wish him, as well as all his comrades, success in their missions and to be able to return home one day, with their heads held high and the feeling of accomplishment.
Lmfao
He’s not doing the right thing. He is fighting for nationalists and fascists. The guy is brainwashed and is likely getting paid nicely, like most foreign mercenaries.
Thank you, Philippe 👊🏻

If Ukraine would not have killed 15000 russian language speakers in Donbas since 2014, would there be any war now? Ukraine also burned alive cca 100 russian speakers in Odesa prior this war and so on.....,would there be any war , if Ukraine did not do those horrible things in past?
Could Mexico try to make a military deal with Russia and China in order to let Russia and China to built some military bases inside Mexico? Would USA like that, or decide to fight Mexico?
Did USA and U.K. commited genocide, when they killed cca 1000.000 (!!!) people in Iraq for NO REAL REASON at all? Send me your theory please.

This dude needs to go home if he's still alive.
He probably won’t though until he is wounded in action or worse.
He seemed to dodge a little around the civilians as human shields question. Sticking to how his team behaves...
He could either respond with something equally insulting or ignore the question.
Just an outlaw grifting off of a corrupt war. Good pay for the mercenaries and all payments by the US and in Us period.

WERE NOT FIGHTING UNTRAINED MIDDLE EASTERN MEN ANYMORE LIKE IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We?
I feel like these responses were the typical responses of a professional soldier - no real reason to fight except he is a professional soldier - others will have to bring a conscience to this conflict - either he is incapable or refuses to - so highly trained he is almost robotic
Bullshit.
Genuinely, this guy is more interesting than virtually anyone else on TH-cam. He has a calm, steel about him that is absolutely real and compelling.
He didn't fight. He's a fraud. He said he fought in fallujah. They used that in the title to give him credibility. I fought in fallunah. The battle occurred in 2004. When he was there in 2006 the city was pacified, occupied and policed side by side with Iraqi security forces. He never fought house to house in fallujah. And what kind of marine infantrymen says cruise rocket? He doesn't talk or act like any combat infantryman I know. He does in fact speak exactly like every stolen Valor guy I've ever met. I believe he's American because like I said he sounds like all the fakes. Not to say he wasn't a veteran but he doesn't talk or sound like a infantryman and his fake persona mirrors identical to a lot of admin veterans pretending to be infantry combat vets.
I appreciate the kind words my guy 👊🏻

He is a great Marine. I’ve been thinking about him ever sense this video. I don’t want to drop his name on this video but if anyone has contact with him please have him hit up Sharrard from his old unit
This man can’t stay home if he tried. He did the job once, so after service he has to keep doing it because no one else will. Lotta guys like that. I got a friend who after leaving the army, still goes back to Iraq to visit the families he met while on tour.
on a murder tour?
This dude is used to call air support whenever some desert dweller in robe and sandals farted in his general direction…. Yep totally different kind of war there.
I guess you were there when my friends were killed in the city? No air support and the sandal, robe wearing fighters would put you to shame any day.

His eyes tell a million stories, you can see him reliving it all in his head throughout the video. Definitely a warrior.
And thats why he is there. Cause in civilian life he'd be lost, NOT because some higher moral reasoning. Thats why he fought in many dif conflicts. 99% of these guys there are war junkies, plus money is good. But to think he's there to spread democracy is ludacris.

Damn this is as real as it gets and he has been in war for a job for 18 years. The interview was very interesting and in deph and he tells what is really like out in the battlefield. How the Ukraine and Russians fight and engage in combat. The Ukrainian foregin legion is a paid mercenary unit so it must be very difficult and intense especially when you don't have or part of a professional millitary. I wish he said anything about the Ukraine air force and Navy how they engage operate and battle in the battlefield.
Ukraine is an oblast of Russia, this is a civil war, getting involved is a selfish and stupid act.
This is the closest look up on an actual warrior on the field. It is impressive the huge amount of stress and trauma this guy has been under. His nervous system is messed up, trembling hands, broken voice and most importantly the two parts of his face on the eyeline have no symmetry any more, an indication of severe, permanent trauma, one can usually see it in people who take lives. Hopefully I am wrong, but we are looking at a sooner or not much later-to-be dead person.
