"Inspired by Ukraine’s scrappy resistance to Russia’s invasion in the early years of the war, veterans from America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan turned up to fight alongside Ukrainians." Hm. Interesting.

a lot of these people shit their pants once they find out that the ukrainian military doesn't give you a free drone strike for every 5 kills

I remember something like this happening with the reddit volunteer brigades at the very beginning of the conflict. people ended up posting their location on reddit in a "we're so proud to help these brave defenders of democracy, updoots to the left" type beat, and got absolutely demolished by Russian missiles a few hours later.

And survivors were reorganised and put into trenches with minimal training and cold war reservist equipment. Some time and artillery shells later they were fleeing through Poland and crying about the unfairness of war.

Idiots finding out what it's like fighting a peer military instead of poor resistance fighters and salafi extremists.

I wonder if the fella downvoting all of these comments have anything critical or of value to add other than pressing the magic internet button.
