r/volunteersforukraine on Reddit :reddit-logo: is actually some of the worst/best stuff I've seen. Posts are full of photos and videos of the aftermath of the Russian airstrikes, and the comments are some of the most deranged things I've ever read. Will copy some of the best/worst ones here
I'll admit I was a little naive myself even having seen some combat previously. I did not expect to be attacked by jets while sleeping in a barracks room on a training base 10 miles from Poland.
My guy thought that fighting a modern army with the second largest airforce in the world would be the same as fighting farmers in Afghanistan.
The Ukrainian border guards were asking if we had extra gear for them, unreal how close they're taking it
The sign of a winning side, asking foreigners entering your country for guns and military equipment!
Some good comments though.
wtf did you expect?
That you'll be shooting at some undefended Russian Z-trucks trundling along a road with their crews abandoning their vehicles and running back to Russia as soon as they hear shots nearby?
It’s beyond astonishing that these people, grown adults, got themselves psy-op’d into flying halfway around the world to volunteer as cannon fodder for an Eastern European kleptocracy against the fucking Russian Army.
And are somehow surprised when they get blown up by a Russian missile.
Like holy shit, get off the internet and re-evaluate your life.
simply lol. "I went there not planning on taking much risk" hahahaha dumb fuck of the day award goes to this guy who went to an active warzone joining the fight against the second or third strongest military on the planet and didn't "plan on taking much risk"
He really thought that it would be like the previous wars in the middle east.
Apparently the guy is helping refugees now, so that's good hopefully.
if he is a medic like he says that should have been his plan from the start instead of trying to be a glory hound and nearly getting killed immediately. better late than never i guess
