OP's profile is a good read: https://old.reddit.com/user/spindokto/
Redditors are accusing him of being a Russian disinfo agent
Yeah dude the Ukrainian border guards were asking if we had extra gear for them, unreal how close they're taking it
Did not come to fight, I'm a medic and came to treat casualties, preferably without becoming one myself
Witnesses mass casualty event his first day there, instantly leaves
Also, who really expects a jet to attack them π That's part of being naive, of course I knew it was a possibility I was just really fricking hoping it wouldn't happen to me
That was what a lot of people were saying, that they were pushing the legion up to Kviv as cannon fodder. And how can you argue that when guys are given no training, and AK with no butt stock, and one magazine? When guys were asking for more ammo a Ukrainian officer said "take it off dead russians"
Based, Westoids getting the full eastern front experience
Those of us who left, including SF operators from multiple countries, are simply risk mitigating. No one wants to die in an unfair fight, and after getting absolutely fricking pummeled by massive cruise missiles today - yeah I kind of want people to think twice before turning their life upside down to go and volunteer.
Life comes at you fast
Honestly I went there not planning on taking much risk
The cannon fodder term is what was coming out of a lot of volunteers mouths that's why I mentioned it. There was a real shift in peoples expectations of being utilized as a unit with operational capabilities vs. the reality of basically being bodies in front of the advancing Russians
Wait, you mean a country fighting a desperate defensive war against a superior opponent is taking a lot of casualties? 
I am in Poland! With many other volunteers. I'm man enough to walk away from a situation when my gut tells me so.

I dunno if this guy is actively working for Russia or just a redditor. But all of the tards who want to go to Ukraine and imagine it's going to be a fun summer camp like the Keystone Pipeline protests need a serious reality check. A few thousand motivated people can make a difference in a war like this but it's not a Marvel movie. You can win or you can survive, but you can't do both. It was this way at Gettysburg, the Marne, Stalingrad, Khorramshahr. You have to take the martyrdom pill and accept that your life is probably going to be used up as a speed bump to slow down the enemy for 5 minutes. If you can't do that, get the frick out of the way.
