    Jesus Christ this fucking article

    another American without military experience, whose family requested to be identified only by his callsign ‘Gunther,’

    Adventurist dipshit with a dogwhistle call sign, how surprising

    Ford told his commanders on the radio they would abort the mission but was instructed to continue and that no evacuation was possible for another day, Redneck said.

    American war tourist: “Oh shit war is dangerous when they can shoot back, get me out of here!”

    Ukrainian officer: “lol. Lmao.”

    “He knew we weren’t going to make it through another attack,” said Redneck of Ford, “so he started asking me to kill him so he wouldn’t be captured.”

    Fucking death cult shit, I don’t know how else to put it

    “He went really quiet,” said Redneck of Ford. “A couple minutes later, (he) called me over and said he had loosened his tourniquets.” Redneck said he reapplied them, but Ford had lost too much blood.

    Dude really chose dying over maybe getting captured

    The last really intelligible thing he said was, ‘never let it be said that the bastards killed me.’”

    They did though. You wanted to play war tourist and you got blown to shit by “the bastards”

    Redneck, speaking from the United States,

    Fucking lol there it is, things got a little too hot when he couldn’t UberEats his McDonalds to the front lines so he ran home

    The rest of the article is just kinda sad, these brainwashed parents trying to convince themselves their sons died for a good reason (“freedom”) and definitely weren’t just used as cannon fodder by a corrupt regime.

      wtf did he expect to happen if he got captured?

      I guess he knew what America does with captured troops (e.g. Abu Ghraib), and assumed every other country is just as evil.

        Yea that’s my guess that it was all projection. He knew how the US military (and possibly the Ukrainian military) treated wounded prisoners (how many times has it come out that US/allied troops have executed wounded prisoners because it’s faster/easier that taking them prisoner) and figured he’d “go out on his own terms”.

        I am convinced that fascists have the Death Drive, they long for the void and their only goal in life is to bring as many people with them as possible.
