Found an article on this guy before he died, some notes of interest:
he was convinced to go by his Ukrainian-Canadian boss
member of the 22eme, not CANSOFCOM so not actually an “elite” sniper, just a regular Canadian sniper
served on tours with yankees, war-crime likelihood increased drastically
There is something profoundly sad about being convinced by your literal petit-bouge boss to go and die in a pointless war, somehow more so than usual.
Can’t say I feel any empathy for the guy, but the gal to tell an employee to go become cannon fodder on a war you cannot possibly win is all sorts of fucked up.
see this is why we need unions. The union would tell your boss to fuck off if he tried to draft you
What kind of loser actually listens to someone telling them that though. Yeah, the boss is a jackass, but he doesn’t have the power to send him to Ukraine. He should have been the one to tell his boss to fuck off. Now he can’t cause he’s dead.
