dude, this guy needs therapy not an interview. come on....

also, it's really unfair to blame people for not showing bodies, when they're literally NOT ALLOWED to show them. You're being ridiculous. KZfaq banned it. News media bans it. If you'd all allow the truth, you'd no longer need to go into these zones as green as this dude obviously did. He's never seen a dead body before? Emergency doctors would have been better mentally prepared than him about some of this stuff. This really feels exploitatory for you to be doing this interview when he was clearly unprepared and is not clearly traumatized. I don;t know what point you're trying to make...but it feels exploitatory.

You and Perun are some of the best youtubers reporting about the war in Ukraine. While the latter covers things from a logistics and macro-level, you cover things on a micro-level, interviewing actual soldiers with boots on the ground and letting them tell inconvenient truths that mainstream media won't cover. God bless, my man.

so Ukraine has been murdering women kids everyone since 2014 and shelling built up civilian areas and now it’s not ok that Russia is sorting out the situation this height of ignorance and two faced go on tell me I’m wrong eh

The history actually isn’t complicated look up Stephen Bandera in ww2

There will never be peace thanks to NATO and I'm a Brit

I hope your version of peace isn't the same version we have here in the US.

“If you want peace, prepare for war”

Except for the times when he put clips of Ukrainians yelling over him

He served in the army so I wouldn't say he didn't have any training. still, i agree I'm glad he made it home safe!

@@origintrackz5235 The only thing that makes me say this is yes, he was in the military, but he joined at 18, and was in Ukraine by 21. Plus he said he was out of the Army awhile before Ukraine. So to me, it sounds like he didn’t finish his first contract. I can only imagine the training he did receive was minimal, much less the retention of that training

@@CoolBreeze1232 Fair point, are they still doing 4 year contracts? Either way I can't really disagree. The retention rate is shit these days from what I seen, they cat seem to keep people in.

Low recruitment and high turn over rates are to ensure a defensive military draft can happen. That allows for political opponents to be sent to the pew pew fields much easier.

True,he can tnx to God he is still alive,,he should know before he step over there that russian army is not a arab sandal division..they are not joke

Yes. Shame on his parents for not allowing him to talk about it.

@@jackgunn1480 Shame on his parents for not raising him differently

Most of the time vets don't want to speak of their "encounters". They probably learned from his Gradpa that since he didn't like to speak of his experience their son probably didn't want to speak about his as well. Or at least that's what I think it is.

For real. You can tell his dad is a puss and his mom is weak. They should be able to 100% talk to him about everything he's gone through and be able to listen to their son. I'm betting he loves his family, but damn...at least this dude is living proof that if you're raised by a weak male and a fearful mother, you can still rise up and be strong on your own.

@@borislavkrstic6366bc his parents taught him right from wrong? That you should help someone in need, especially against the Russian rape machine that is it’s military. They haven’t changed literally one bit since world war 2 minus the fact that now they have gotten better at lying and convincing gullible foil hat wearers that Russia is somehow in the right to brutally invade its neighbor unprovoked.

We must always strive to let everyone know the true cost of war, least it becomes too much of a passion and too easy for those who are not touched by it to command for it.

@@jacobjorgenson9285 "Brandon" lol.

I'm incredibly dismayed at the lack of empathy I see in people half a world away when they see someone killed. Mostly Russians killed. Those are human beings. This war is stupid. It didn't need to happen and it's being kept active for reasons people refuse to accept. We should all feel incredible shame to be led by such obvious ideologues. They aren't hiding anything. You're just refusing to see it.

@@feral4506 Exactly, we don’t need media to inform us on every detail of war and how wretched it is.

Everyone deals with trauma different and what not everyone tells you is it never truly goes away. Speaking from experience I went through 15 years of therapy(on and off) and I had completely given up on it. I saw no improvement from the therapy and I convinced myself it was doing harm even. It also wasn't really 100% my decision to go to therapy, it was something that I was led into while I was in a altered state of mind(just experienced life changing traumatic event) so while I knew it was something that was recommended and I consented, it was not the right time for me. I stopped going and for years on my free time I would just disconnect go fishing or hunting and I found peace in that and was able to get my head right enough to rebuild my life. My demons never fully went away though and eventually I realized that I never gave therapy a chance to begin with because my pain was so great that all I wanted to do was escape it. The main purpose of therapy is not to get over the pain or escape the pain, it is to confront it and try and understand how it is impacting you behind the scenes so you can take back control over your mind. I decided to go back and I started to see huge improvements in my quality of life and I think the key was deciding I needed it for myself and going into it with a list of things I needed help correcting/understanding. I guess my point is that if you are finding progress and peace doing what you are doing keep doing it but keep an open mind because this stuff has a way of sneaking up on you later and there is no shame in getting help sorting it out. Thanks for your service dude and I wish you the best

@@alexn8795 I have tried to go to a counselor because to be honest like you I am good with most things, but there are still a couple things do sneak up and grab me when I am not ready. I mean they aren't quite as bad as they used to be, but when they hit they aren't the way I know I could live life. I just have not had real good luck with finding someone I feel right working with. My first experience was a guy that I worked with for a year, and I would just leave there more angry because i just felt every appointment was a waste of time, after a year, nothing really had changed. So I talked to the schedulers at the VA explained to them I had tried for over a year and just didn't feel like I was getting anywhere, can they please switch me to another provider. Set up my appointment, came back two weeks later, and right back into the office of the guy I tried to switch from. So I quit trying. Then about 6 months later I decided to try again. Went to VA farther from me but was promised a new provider. I walked in optimistic, this guy comes in late and you could tell he was over stretched, walked in sat down, looked at me and immediately asked if I was really involved in direct combat, had I lost friends and had I really ever killed anyone, then sat there and stared at me and said nothing more. I knew we weren't going to connect and he was over stretched with patients and responsibilities and I would not get the treatment I was needing through him. So I quit. Then last year, gave it another go, had one bad interaction but was determined to keep trying and finally I found someone that I would have never thought I would feel comfortable with talking about things with her, and man we really connected, she had crazy colored hair, bright wild make up and clothes, and was about as tall as she was around, nothing like I thought I would feel comfortable with, but I knew she was dedicated and willing to work hard with me and I felt like a human with her. Then the VA with out warning transfered her and I just have not found anyone I felt comfortable with since and then and been frustrated. I tried to use my private insurance to get into a civilian counselor, but the wait was so long I just gave up. It is a mess. I hope I find someone to work with eventually, just no luck yet brother. Thank you my friend, but no need to ever thank me, it was an honor to serve my country and an honor to be able to call some true heroes my brothers

@@gavinhillick Pretty much, I was a volunteer in an army of conscripts. I don't care if you doubt me or not, you can learn from what I wrote or stay comfortably numb, brainwashed by our BS cultural narrative. Feel free to keep believing the people who are robbing you blind.

@@gavinhillick You're right, I did make the choice. A choice based on the lies I was told and the lies are what I'm objecting to.

Open your mind and read my original comment again.

Yahoo News and the TV Say ukraine was winning the war this man is just a liar, duh.

I feel this, he's in it .. ask me how I know. I also can say, I would listen to the shit.. I relate to it, there is some stuff that's nearly impossible to unsee and/get past. It's strange the mixed feelings anyone has of traumatic things they've seen/did/felt. I feel closest to those that have been in the shit, sometimes we don't even talk but just knowing and saying I see you, you're good, you're a good man it's ok to feel what you do and not be ok.. There is so much more I could say, but I truly hope this young man finds people who he can open up to or at least can offer emotional support. I know about self censoring because it's unforgettable and no one can relate and you sound like a monster. Hugs buddy, stay strong... It does get better

But listening to him I thought "What did he aspect to see and witness there?". War smells of death and comes in all "fashions". I know war isn't much inflicting when you fight an enemy from the distance, like most of the wars the US waged were be like this. Long range weapons make it "easy" to kill and win. But if you have to watch your own made impact on the enemy, who's still a human, see awful wounded comrades and dead bodies, you get the full expression of war. Men break, psychological, during wartimes and we always have to think about the impact of war, our own doings, on people, the enemy and civilians. All wars, no matter what been said by politicians and military commanders, are destructive and their outcome is always the same; suffering. We have to prevent wars in the beginning, no matter what. No soldier is immune to what he experience on the battlefield and having pity for the enemy is one outcome of this. Sure, we must see through the dehumanising of people done by all parties involved, but we should also never forget who's responsible for what's happening. Where to begin peace talks, when is it time to say enough? Soldiers and civilists alike must endure war the closest,not politicians or generals! Because war has its own rules and impacts on people, fronts between the fighting people become more and more closed and hate, with all the used hate speech, becomes normal. Don't we have to pressure our governments at home to prevent destruction abroad by our doings? I think so. But people, far away from these things, live their life as if nothing happens. We humans didn't learn anything from war over the centuries. People become partisan, "like to hate" and are getting used to propaganda instead of seeing war like it is, the worst thing of human politics and always a lose -lose situation. War sets us back, stokes hate where there must be understanding and the will to talk with eachother, making compromises and finding common goals like prosperity for all. Only peace and work together guarantees our future as humanity. The next war could be our last and all problems will be "solved" for once and forever.

@@ForrestOutman wonder if treatment on field for PTSD might help while your still in the traumatic environment like he said you don't really process anything at the time it's once it's calm again it all hits you so maybe an attempt to treat and resolve those internal conflicts on field might help. Could make it worse though be interested to hear your thoughts

@@Jazzafritsch I'm no psychologist, I'm just a guy with fairly severe PTSD. It has gotten much better, but I still have a bunch of tells and don't know if I'll ever truly be clear of it. I was very angry and almost looking for a fight, I had a "suck it up, so what needs to be done outlook" I dehumanized perceived threats, could flip the switch 0-100 in an instant, was already for a fight, and assumed I would be dead long ago. I have undergone some therapy for it and even tried MDMA and psilocybin. MDMA micro-dosing does help in my case. I don't know if therapy would help at the time, but I think it's something they should explore at the very least train lieutenants or medics in identifying, addressing, and supporting mental health treatment. It's a huge problem not adequately addressed in the combatives communities.

No it's not, he's just a baby. His fail failure to engage because of fear got his men killed.

This kid clearly does not have the mental wherewithal to be fighting in a Ukrainian existential conflict of this nature. He didn't belong anywhere near the frontlines. At best they should have given him some rear duty. War is hell and not everyone is cut out for it. I thought Ukraine only accepts veterans who've seen actual combat.

Idk. Both my parents are Vietnam vets. It was very rare to hear them talk about it. Maybe his father is of the same school of thought.

Some never want to experience it ever again and other's will push through to fight for freedom.

@@nedkelly9688 Early on a lot of media sources were pushing the idea that Putin thought it would be over in a few days and was losing because it wasn't. They also continually attempt to make it sound like he's losing and on the verge of being defeated, which isn't true, and have even been caught creating fictional propaganda pieces like the ghost of kiev, etc. That's more of what I was referring to and what I believe this guy was talking about in the interview. That stuff paints a picture that does not at all reflect the reality this guy was walking into, so it's no surprise that his expectations were out of line with what he was facing.

Legend mate, thankyou

if you think about it, in our minds we always knew that war is brutal. Even if one person confronts Hitler, it is still that person who does the killing. And that is something one can't return from. All losses are permanent in a war. And the phychological pressure is also brutal. Thinking about the Ukrainains, they dont have a place to go back for comfort! They have to first push RUs away, then make a strong defence position, then built their destroyed homes, and then can they find a sliver of comfort in their homes. And keep remembering their lost ones and see how futile this war was. I can't even think about those women and children who witnessed the horrors of the brutality.

Dont trust US media all they do is lie and promote war.

As a professional solder, I never want war. War only means indiscriminate death to the masses; a true Pandora's box. It saddens me to see young people throw themselves into a war, when they lack formal military training and a lack of military leadership.

@Elena R like Justin I have no experience of war only naïve notions of what it is like. I wish Justin well understanding he has changed his notion of war having lived it. Listening to Justin had a profound impact on me and woke me up to the horror of war. Have a great week.

@P I don’t think he’s on good terms with them. It seems like he was in the military for a while and then had a hard time adjusting once he got out. He alluded to some combat in Afghanistan. I believe his family felt like he was giving up on himself and he didn’t really tell them where he went. They even reached out to law enforcement to find him. My conjecture is that he went to Ukraine under the assumption that he would die. Although it’s a long road to recovery for him, I believe he found a new lease on life after coming to close to death. Rough stuff. Hope he’s well.

First become mature, financially and mentally stable and a only happymaker and then do family. Family is not meant to live with your shit and disolve your shit in life.

Glad you have seen the light, i pulled out of training just as the original '03 operation started because the excuses for invasion by the Bush admin simply didn't make logical sense. I'm supposed to believe that Ba'thist Saddam and hardcore fundamentalist Osama were best of friends.... yeah right...... anyway i recommend reading memoirs of the elite politicians decision makers from the past whom clearly state how they think and operate.... quoting a certain Henry Kissinger “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”

I honestly feel like you guys might shit your pants. Iraq and Afghanistan, we were in the drivers seat... eyes in the sky looking out for you, defending you, vs a bunch of ragtag insurgents and IEDS. If you went to the field in this war, you'd have to come to terms with being more like those insurgents, you could literally die out of nowhere by a 300 dollar quad drone dropping a crappy grenade on you while you're sleeping... nothing is looking out for you. Imagine what that's like... when things got real in Iraq, you always had a higher force to bring down upon the enemy, but what if this time its just you and your rifle? Im not trying to demean your service, im genuinely asking how do you think you'd fare?

@TheBucketSkill there is no reason to believe we would do any worse then the Ukrainians are doing. Warriors just fight the war they are sent to. We won all the battles that I was a part of but we had an unworthy adversary. We also didn't always have extra help like you said there. I myself with no extra help survived being close ambushed out in the open with our dead right beside me. Ended up kneeling in the open under heavy machine gun fire to reload. It wasn't crazy conventional war like over there but it showed me I could function at a high level under pressure. Anyway yeah I just think Warriors fight the war they are given. We honestly expected a lot more out of Sadams Military. I think it was in the top five biggest armies of the world at the time. So yeah we expected a little more.

As bad as our conflicts in the middle east have been for some. There was never a point in time where there was real opposition. Only in a few handful of situations. The ukraine war is far more akin to real war than what our country went through.

@Geronimo553 when you are under close heavy machine gun fire with rpgs, raining on you and dead/wounded buddies beside you it is most definitely real war. It's just a different kind of war but war none the less. Situations like I just described where very common in Iraq and Afghanistan. Close heavy machine gun ambushes are mind melting crazy. In my first tour we went on over three hundred combat missions with a good portion of them being pretty violent. Armored troop carriers blown in half and thrown upside down into the river..... shit like along with lots of small arms engagements with pretty much zero help from above. I got to witness an A-10 doing gun runs in one battle but that's it other then high altitude grid bombing. Basically accurate Artillery from the sky instead of from a cannon. We couldn't use it much because we where trying to keep the buildings intact in functioning cities loaded with civilians. Fallujah was really televised and had lots of close air support but the civilians where also told to get out beforehand. That wasn't the norm from what I saw. Usually we where having to pick and choose who was our enemy from amongst the civilians. So yeah different kind of war but war none the less. I'm sure if sent into a conventional war like Ukraine we would have faired just as well as any other men in the fight. Those of us that joined up right after the towers got hit really thought we would be in a huge conventional war. Just didn't workout that way. If Russia was literally fighting the USA right now it would actually be way worse for Russia. Guaranteed we would be bombing their capital by now and if we didn't have air superiority by this stage I would be shocked.

True what you say about the start of WW1 and eager young men. I think it is very different today because of all the media reports of what was happening in Ukraine and the type of high intensity conflict it is. High tech modern conventional warfare against an invader with "artillery is king" as a motto. The images that we all saw of what was happening over there and all the destroyed cities left everyone thinking how something so wrong and so deadly be happening in todays world. It's hard to understand why he was so surprised of being among death, gore and killing when he got into it.

when the british were invading and slaughtering natives it was all fun and games untill they finally met a peer.

War is hell. When you see Bodies everywhere, and Dogs, etc, feasting on the remains and walking around with Bodyparts it's a pretty shocking thing to see. And Morters, etc, one minute your Buddy is there the next there is nothing left. Russians in a foxhole, it gets hit. They get up confused stumling trying to find cover only to walk in to Ukrainian and get mowed down. A Russian cutting the scrotum off of a Ukrainian POW. War is hell.

But PLEASE have you even seen a dead body before young man?!?And you are HOME 🏡 now….Ukraine fighting for anybody surviving to put INTO a home years from now….

This man needs healing and love because he is a human being. Can you not see that. He is not out to ethnically cleanse anyone. He didn't initially join to fight along side Nazis, though he did end up with them. He joined to fight because he wanted to make a difference for average Ukrainians. Yes he got caught up in their fervor but such a young man, resigned to death, living amongst people who thought they were invincible, that would be very hard to resist whilst being in an extreme survival situation.

@@Len_M. Russians literately got a phone number to call and not be in that fox hole and get mowed down. What even remotely similar options do the Ukrainians got?

Yes,it is obvious that this man has been affected from what he saw but he is mistaken about what media is showing . Seeing the death with your own eyes does not make you change sides or something .It only demoralizes you. A pro ukranian will still be a pro ukranian even after the view of ukranian losses. Actually the view of dead civilians would even icrease the support but it is kind unethical. for example i will never forget the dead little girl in vynitsia and her mother without a leg.

@@johnroberts2023 ahh so your the mental case, here is another point I like to make, When I was in Yugoslavia war, I’ve seen things that were done to people I’ve wish I never seen, my point is when people see this “opposition troops” they in return do the same or worse, being psychopath means nothing, war makes plenty of them

@@johnroberts2023 Depends on how psychopathic you are. If you are sociopath, you are mission oriented, and that makes good soldier. Killing machine with a cause. Committing violence to build a better world is just. It is the righteous cause. General definition of psychopath is someone who kills for the enjoyment. War makes psychopaths, but psychopath tend to not like war simply because one minute you are predator; next minute you are prey. Psychopath does not want to die. Will avoid death at all costs. Sociopath accepts death for the cause is a worthy death. One does not want to die, but one accepts death as part of the mission.

It's the same brainwashing people got from covid. It's a mass psychosis.

@@TaiganTundra yeah you're right, do you know what, oftentimes it's literally the same people

How do you propose a peaceful outcome?

@@turbowankel1264 Wars can end in negotiated settlements.

@@VictorianTimeTraveler That's like saying that after Nazi Germany Invaded the Soviet Union that the Soviet Union should negoiate peace instead of fighting back. No. Not how that works.

😂

That was purely a self defense situation.

Yes. You're being sarcastic but this is the actual truth

And how is it these idiots arent arrested when they get hime, yet people who go and join ISIS are (arguably a not as bad a cause as nazism)

Amen. Similar was said to my dad when he got home from Vietnam. His parents didn't even pick him up at the airport in Detroit. Instead, when he got off the aircraft, he was met in the terminal by protestors throwing things and spitting on them, no joke. He went home, took off his uniform, gave his dress hat to a little boy who lived down the road, and never put it on ever again.

Seriously. This man went to war, a war that understandably broke him. He's hurting and needs help but his own parents are just like "nope not gonna."

​@@STG44musikmeister well you could argue that his parents knew what would probably happen and they didnt want him to go.

At the end of the day he made the choice to go and fight. His parents should help him find someone to talk to, as in professionals. It shouldn't shock anyone that Civilian parents don't want to or don't know how to talk about atrocities of war.

@@dustinfischer1624 That's true but It's still the right thing to be there for family when they're in need. That's how it works in mine and everyone is genuinely better off for it.

It’s pretty wild to see so much support for someone who volunteered to join a Nazi militia who slaughtered 10,000+ civilians over the course of 8 years. I guess we’re getting pretty progressive.

@@ApocalypseYesterday They aren't Nazis they are Jews in Nazi costumes lmfao The group recieved its funding from Jews such as Kolomoisky and they openly state that they support Israel 🤣🤣 The only Nazis in Azov are from outside of Ukraine and they joined them because they thought that they were actual Nazis

He was a journalist and there still a lot of them there ..go watch the dude who came back last month who was actually fighting...thats how real soldier narrat what he faced at the front...i mean u go to water do you except it to be butter and bread lets be honest

@@ApocalypseYesterday get your facts right, 25k+ civies confirmed counts, still not final. He is just a boy, let it be, he got lucky, got smart and left.

@@ApocalypseYesterday you mean Russian separatists. Terrorists

He IS insane.

@@dindu551 yeh the more I watched, the more I realized something was definitely wrong with him. Sounds like he got kicked out of the military at 19-20 years old. Failed psych evaluation? Committed a crime? Regardless, his parents gave him a house and job, then he just up and leaves the country to join Azov….. sounds absolutely insane. Before his parents job he was sleeping in his car too…. So wtf man

The propaganda is doing its job, most of the world thinks that the Russians are bloodthirsty orcs and a lot of people believe this. According to the media, we are like Nazis in the era of Hitler. But then comes the realization that somewhere you have been fucked ...

Foolish, looking to prove something to himself and bring back a story. From a deep need of approval. That's my gut feeling.

@@dindu551 Ideologically possessed. With a delusion.
