Told us today and sent screenshots of his flights. Not enlisting or anything, just simply headed out there on a whim.

Not sure how I feel about this one. I guess if anything he’s walking the walk instead of virtue signaling on social media with everyone else. But he’s definitely out of his mind nuts.

OT about to have front line sources...

In all seriousness, try to keep contact as much/often as possible

Dude will have killer stories for sure…or become someone else’s killer story. Either way, that’s cool.

Idiot. Like I wrote yesterday. I've been through basic, graduated from jump school, am a pretty good shot. In other words I know enough to get my arse shot off.

Yolo. If you want to put your life at risk to fight for Ukraine, then go ahead. I wouldn’t. But good for him.

I can respect that.

He wants to satisfy his male cravings to kill and win. Noble.

VolsOut: I want to take out a life insurance policy on my bud.

Life Insurance Company: Okay, tell us more about what he does.

Vols: he's headed to Poland to fight the Ruskies as a mercenary.

LIC: Yeah, gonna pass on that action.

Should be prepared when the Poland customs agent asks:

1. Are you carrying anything of value 10k USD or greater?
2. Do you have any agricultural goods with you?
3. Are you aware that the war is not in Poland?

Then when attempting to cross into Ukraine, their customs agent asks:

How do we know you are not a Russian spy?

It's not surprising IMO

Guys in our society/culture crave adventure and being part of something they feel is clear cut and meaningful. It's why so many are drawn to WWII, which in the minds of many was the last objectively good vs. bad conflict.

You could enlist and wait for the next inevitable US quagmire, or you can go get a rifle and defend a European city against Russian invaders. I'm not saying it's a reasonable choice, but I get the appeal. I'm sure it's part glory hunting, but I think more than that it's a desire to bear witness and take a role in something of historic significance during an era of where most things are stupid and fleeting.

Is he at least someone with combat training? If not, he’s more than likely going to die.

Then again, civilians over there are putting up a fight so, good luck to him.
