‘I’m not going back and fight’ - US mercenaries say war in Ukraine is more dangerous than in Iraq or Afghanistan - The Daily Beast
-This is my third war I’ve been in and this one is by far the worst. You will be crushed by artillery, tanks. Last week, a bomb was dropped from an airplane next to us, about 300 meters away. This is horrifying shit.
- You can’t hide anywhere. When we went out on missions, I thought we were all going to die. A helicopter will not fly for you, no one will save you when you are surrounded. When I got home, I had time to think things over. I came to the conclusion that I’m not going to go back and fight.
Like any bully, American soldiers will only fight people smaller than them (yet they still manage to lose, lol). When facing an actual fair fight with another superpower, whoops all bombs.
Waaaaah it’s not fair that the other side has air support, artillery, armoured vehicles, military training, and an industrial base that can supply ammunition, fuel, and all the other supplies needed to fight a modern war! We’re supposed to be the ones using overwhelming air supremacy to vaporize sandel-wearing goat herders! Russians are supposed to be mindless orks zerg rushing our killzones! Waaaaah I miss my special kill everything laser and helicopter delivered burger King waaaaaaah!

The only wars this person could ever be old enough to be in were Iraq and Afghanistan, so this is the only war where this person is facing a conventional army, and not a resistance that struggled with getting materiel and without higher-level leadership.
Turns out they don’t like war when it’s fought on somewhat “even” terms.

awhhh is the widdle baby scared after fighting people with an equal access to modern weapons systems?
shoudda done us all a favor and taken a bomb to the face
Americans when no overwhelming air superiority
If you’re from the richest country on earth and march into a war zone for money there is not a single experience you can have there that would cause me to have sympathy for you.
I’m shocked that it’s more difficult than bombing weddings
