‘I’m not going back and fight’ - US mercenaries say war in Ukraine is more dangerous than in Iraq or Afghanistan - The Daily Beast

-This is my third war I’ve been in and this one is by far the worst. You will be crushed by artillery, tanks. Last week, a bomb was dropped from an airplane next to us, about 300 meters away. This is horrifying shit.

  • You can’t hide anywhere. When we went out on missions, I thought we were all going to die. A helicopter will not fly for you, no one will save you when you are surrounded. When I got home, I had time to think things over. I came to the conclusion that I’m not going to go back and fight.

It is illegal and a traitorous act for any American to serve in a foreign military.

I’d bust a gut laughing if somehow, some way a bunch of these mercs get the Benedict Arnold treatment in the most backwards rube Goldberg manner

Nah. Never happen. But I’m sure it would happen if one of them served with Russia or Wagner.

And they’d flaunt the prosecution in front of everyone. Because it’s all about blatantly advertising there’s one mode of justice for them and a different one for us.
