The reddit volunteers that got blown up were just random idiots with no experience I believe. Whereas the ex military and mercenaries who realized they were too weak were smart enough to go back home to their comfortable lives after the first bomb dropped
A real Reddit post from 2022
I want to fight for Ukraine. I have no military background and some live firearm experience. I do have over 100 hours of airsoft milsim experience though. It’s the closest thing to actual war. I’m familiar with military lingo and protocols (not sure if applicable cause I’m fighting for a foreign country). Knowledge on how to operate a variety of weaponry. I use high-end airsoft guns which are 1:1 or almost identical to the real thing. I did many roles in the milsim from combat medic to Forward observers and operated in a two-man sniper team.
I have my own gear (cammies, plate-carrier, plates, medkit, supplies). I have money for the trip and money for basic necessities. I will not leech off the UAF I will have my own stuff except a gun and ammunition.
I know basic Russian words, but will still need assistance or translation for any complex movements or tactical battle plans.
Its so funny that some angloid (i presume) thinks his rudimentary Russian skills will be useful to a bunch of people who have intermingled with Russia for centuries.

This is basically how Taiwan is training their civilian militias lol. The term “reddit island” now makes more sense
