Everyone on here knows I’m a veteran. I’ve volunteered that info many times. What I’ve never done is claimed that war/combat is glorious and that everyone should experience it. War is awful in every way, but unfortunately, it’s inevitable.
Regarding the war in the Ukraine, I don’t agree that all Ukrainians don’t have a stake in this conflict. They absolutely do because Russia wants to take their territory, destroy their homes, kill their loved ones, et al…
Could the war have been avoided? Yes, but the terms offered by Putin were NOT in the Ukraine’s best interest.
