Ukraine has shown extensive combat effectiveness via their use of rocket propelled munitions, I’m sure more and more of these individuals will be trained on HIMARS and Patriot systems now that the US has permitted their use against targets inside of Russia

Already have, got the injuries to prove it

When you went to boot camp (assuming you were/are a sailor based on verbage), you lost 5% of your division to mental health issues. It seems to me that people considered unfit for duty wouldn’t graduate basic training at all.

I think you’re missing my point. It’s not about being unfit to fight, it’s about the willingness to defend your home. I can’t get behind people that turn and run when the people that make up their country need them. I can’t support people that aren’t even willing to try given these circumstances.

Basic training was the easiest part of my military career. The recruits that went home did so because they got hypothermia or cracked the tops of their humerus, not because they couldn’t hack it mentally. If they wanted to weed out those unfit, then the individual who this article is about would be disqualified or an RTT in basic. I was discharged at the end of my contract because of physical injuries, so I understand being considered unqualified for military service.

I cannot think of any reason I wouldn’t defend my home, friends, and family against a foreign invader. If the US was being invaded and my family’s lives were at risk, you can bet your ass I’d be doing everything I could to defend my country.

Perhaps, or perhaps people like this just aren’t the types of people I associate with

I can’t conceive of someone so fearful of war that they’d willingly leave others out to dry in this fashion while hiding behind the forces of another nation.

Naturally war is bad, but you can’t stand and defend your own people?

I understand being scared, but it would be hard for me to abandon my country in its time of need. Not for the government, but for the people that live there.

ETA: quite a few down votes, no one explaining why though

Okay Satan

Even out of context, this shit goes hard

From what I’ve heard, it’s all about the he says, she says bullshit

Obligatory “nice”

I saw this coming from a mile away. We will now have to set standards for what’s considered “made by AI” and “Made with AI”

You’re right, they’re not the most common, and they’re typically far more expensive.

Genuinely jealous of this one

I had to read your comment to understand what I was supposed to be looking at

I know these things, I’m trying to push other people to see the truth

How are we supposed to trust anything any government official says when they’re pulling shit like this? Was ivermectin actually effective? Did they fluff the numbers? Was it all a political game to some end?

ETA: Ivermectin is effective in some stages:
