      The first part of the video was a few months ago at the beginning of his deployment.

      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

    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.

    If I was going to volunteer for combat I would expect this sort of thing. Walking for 40 minutes? The horror!
