I recall seeing this video a few months ago--possibly last winter.

The first part of the video was a few months ago at the beginning of his deployment.
I feel for the guy. All these guys are sacrificial pawns sent to the meat grinder.
I don't, he wanted to kill people so badly that he travelled abroad and joined a foreign military to do it, he is fine where he is.
Hmm I guess it depends on what his reasons were for being there. I missed that he was a mercenary. That kinda makes it a bit more cut n dry though. Poor life choices
There aren't any Chinese conscripts in Ukraine - I don't know how that would happen.
This is what photoshop was invented for.
Dude gets a cough in a war zone. Acts like itβs a matter of life or death. Typical male behavior - lol . Get rekt. Slava Ukraine
I will die here
Kind of what you were sent there for :|
comes to kill people
"please take care of me"
lol
If I was going to volunteer for combat I would expect this sort of thing. Walking for 40 minutes? The horror!
He meant he walked for 40 minutes to get a cell phone signal
Again: What do you expect? Itβs a war zone. Iβm surprised it wasnβt farther.
That shithead was ok with killing people for money, and now he doesn't like being treated like a shithead?
Talk about FAFO. Get lost, asshat.
Aren't all soldiers signing up to kill people for money, yes he's on the opposing side and we can hate him for supporting a fascist war machine that's trying to annex a soverign nation; but I don't see how we can hate him for the simple act of being a soldier unless we're prepared to say that about all of our own soldiers as well.
In context, I think OP meant "for money and considering nothing else". If you're not with a sketchy mercenary company you can maintain a certain level of expectations about who it is you end up killing. This guy apparently wasn't worried about that.
Some, probably most, sign up to protect their homeland not to kill lots of people. I think such motivation would get you kicked out of some armies, in fact. No one wants a psychopath in their squad!
Don't forget make money, get out of their shithole small town and be a cool action hero guy. It's a rare soul that's purely motivated by ideology or identity.
He will sprout many sunflowers.

If he wasn't going to die before he is now
I saw the video. I forget what happened to him. Edit: oh duh this is the video
