They have to say Ex-Marine. Because if they say Marine when he is NOT serving in the Marines currently. The russian will believe that the USA has stepped in, and it will start an entire all out war. I get it that you are very patriotic, but we MUST clarify to the world, that these are Ex-Marines who are NOT currently serving within the USA military. They are RETIRED Marines. Saying otherwise, will start a whole brand new confrontation the world does not need.
If he is actually a marine in the armed forces of the United States of America he shouldn’t be fighting in a foreign war that doesn’t have sh*t to do with the defense of his republic or constitution WHICH IS WHAT HE TOOK AN OATH TO DO.
@davidaponte7521 What's the alternative? Allow women and children to be raped and murdered. He has the means and the will to combat tyranny, and that is the enemy of democracy on any shore. So God bless him and his family and his comrades in arms and the people he swore to protect
I feel like they have to add that in there because if they just call him a “U.S Marine” then Russian propaganda will have a field day with it claiming American troops are on the battlefield.
I'm just an random Australian but I appreciate what your doing. The world is a better place with people like you in it. Thank you for your contribution.
Not only logical, I feel that he has shouldered the responsibility of paying the Ukrainians back for helping us. We don't have many like him left in the US. I am looking forward to hearing about his safe return to his family.
seriously? What is logical about risking your own death when you have a baby boy at home who might grow up without his dad? For what? Another country? On some other continent? Some elite's conflict? And afterwards the profits go exactly to that elites and not to any soldier.
not at all logical to me but he is his own man, and my brother. this proxy war started 10 years ago not 2 years or 18 months ago. Nuland CIA sponsored NGOS usdollars 6 billion Maindan revolution usa intervention Russian Federation troops started special military operations in March year and a half ago. Google it. do not believe Biden regime sir. please
Tysm for all of y’all’s contributions. My brother died last week from a missile strike while fighting for Ukraine. It means a LOTT seeng all the western support
He truly seems humble and down to earth. With other units it brings strange pride seeing US, Commonwealth and other nations fighting in the same unit. The Commonwealth especially, we squabble like siblings but when things go down we got each other.
Army here with a lot of marine friends. You’re correct. He’s a marine. But to the civilian population, the headline: “Marine fighting in Ukraine” has slightly higher risk to the population. People are dumb and read it as “ *Marines* fighting in Ukraine,” and that would be a whole thing. 😂
Indeed ! Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller would be especially proud as we all are here state side...Go Bless and make it back home to your family and new born son! urrrr raaaahhhhh!!!!
@@BrainFogging Wagner has pulled out because the Ukrainians broke them. They're mercs they work for pay not glory, and they have to be alive to spend their pay.
If chase didn't I would have posted the same thing. They are a fraternity Justin and are entitled to their tradition. Ask any Marine about Seals and Rangers and he'd probably tell you they're okay, but they're not Marines. So like Mole said, Justin, sit down.
The whole freedom loving people around the world are so grateful for these brave foreign soldiers helping Ukraine in the or cause to drive away the illegal invaders of their beloved country. Glory to these heroes.🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
remember, next week is the 4th of July and we have traitor Republicans trying to abandon these US vets on the battlefield while at the same time abandoning a ton of innocent people to experience brutality that should never happen in the modern world
WHY would he go there? i was born in ukraine, and i would NEVER fight for them. i wish he would stay in America. i am grateful for his service TO AMERICA
Thank you, our American brother, for staning with our warriors against today's days, Hitler and his . Thanks to people like you, we don't feel alone in this fight! Slava Ukraine and God bless America ❤
@@lizafrench8455Thats not training, and I like how hardly are Rusia People and bad informed People trying to say that ukrania isn't doing well, I'm not saying only cuz of you, you can see all the latín american people saying s*t about the US and praising russia.
Hitler has a Nazis group growing inside Ukraine that is one of the reasons Russia is fighting Ukraine just for you know and secondly Russians soldiers destroyed Hitler and his Nazi regime in case you never went to school! Another thing my leaders are using Ukraine against Russia Americans leaders don’t care about Ukraine they are using Ukraine to fight Russia only! USA provoked this war between Russia and Ukraine! Next year is election year and they will forgot about ukraine open your eyes fools
@@lizafrench8455USA mercenaries are inside Ukraine not only Americans but there are others from NATO’s countries just for your information this is a war that NATO provoked against Russia no one here cares about Ukraine it’s a fight for domination US want hegemony power and Russia is a stone in their shoes also China bc China is growing economically another problem to US domination
I thank men like these and it's a pleasure having them on this planet I wouldn't personally be able to do it. That man is a warrior. May the Allfather give you strength and wisdom and keep you away from the evils of war.
Thank you Erin for going into the forest and showing us the _soldiers_ who are hunting the Orcs in the darkness. "If they share in your troubles, then they are your brothers." And vice-versa.
The US has dibs on russia next, they think a static frontline trench war with Ukraine is bad? LOL the US would never be in a trench war with such a weak enemy.
@@jesse8600thats because the US is a modern day military with modern day technology, strategy & weapons. Not some WW1 military type like the Orcs who are unorganized, unmotivated and unable to fight a strategic battle!
@@3dprintwiz378 US soldiers killed millions of innocent Iraqi people,, they now think that Russian soldiers are Iraqi civilians,, Russia will deflate their ego
Bravo 👏 Great respect for this brave Marine for his support in his fight against the Russians. He is making a significant sacrifice by putting his life in danger.. We need more brave soldiers from around the world to support the Ukrainians so that the Orcs can be driven out of Ukrainian territory. May God Almighty continue to protect him because of his Son and wife 🙏 ❤
That's a joke to invoke God. The US and Ukraine have already blown up a dam (that will likely cause the suffering of 100k/millions of people) as well as a gas pipeline (that caused untold ecological damage and possibly the death of untold victims of cold temperatures.) And you're like "we are heroes!" Shame on you
🫡 salute to this soldier. My respect goes to him. I didn’t know that there were Ukranians sent to Afghanistan war to assist U.S.A. Still, god bless him for what he’s doing. He left for the birth of his son and went back. Just wow, my respect goes to him, god keep him safe and all other soldiers in Ukraine. If I didn’t have my family, and not passed my age I would of volunteered also. But I’ll say this, if U.S.A goes to war I’ll definitely volunteer. God keep them safe and shower every soldier defending Ukraine with BLESSINGS.
@@trialsdungeons8737& also to exploit a 3rd war country's people an resources for personal gain in the guise of fighting for a better cause. He's just there for his own self reason anyone who can't see that is blind.
@@user-sg4vy3kj3nand making stupid comments about shit you know nothing of....like patriotic, heroism, freedom, being a real man or real woman, (you give off a vibe of being a troll who's parents picked your gender at an early age and you just ran with it) action, devotion, dedication and no clue what being an American is about.
I take no side in this war except that it needs to end to preserve precious life. Having said that. It takes bravery, guts, and much more to take part in the worst warfare in modern history. A warrior. Respect.
Making us all proud back home. This man has my utmost respect , him and all the foreigners fighting in the Legion. These men and women are doing incredible things with little support in some cases. Fighting and laying down their lives for another country's fight for freedom is about the noblest thing a person can do imo. May God keep your hands steady and aim true. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 support from 🇺🇸
Unfortunately, too many idiots in the US have forgotten what the real fight is supposed to be. Protecting Democracy - not forcing it on others W style. Now you’ve got degeneracy within our ranks wishing we were more like Russia (an opinion void of any sane rationale or thought, to be clear).
The only part of your comment that I take issue with is that this is "another country's fight." This is a fight for the values of freedom, justice, and democracy. These are the founding principles of the United States and the fight for their establishment as the guiding philosophy for the entire world is the responsibility of ALL individuals and countries who believe in these principles.
I feel a bit guilty saying this since i don't want America to formally put boots on the ground, but i'm glad our brave volunteers can put their excellent training to good work to help our ukrainian brothers. Ukrainians have proven themselves an incredible force to be reckoned with, but every little bit helps. True heroes. Stay safe out there.
Ukraine is NOT part of NATO. They've contributed no money into it nor have they helped financially or via military the United States during the Iraq and Afghanistan war. The ONLY thing they did during those wars was to allow the US military to land planes there to refuel. I don't support Ukraine, Russia, or the US involvement in this proxy war. All could have been avoided by agreeing to NEVER let Ukraine join NATO.
@@user-cv8xw8zn5uRussia has used Donestk like a puppet. How would you like to wake up one morning and realize you are a “buffer” for an imperialist regime?
It’s men like this that are true hero’s in our world, not some rapper, football player or nascar driver it’s a man like this. Most of us including myself couldn’t even carry his boots much less walk in them.
@@Robertsmith-un5cu I think COWARD is sufficient for you because I don’t want to spend to much time describing you but that one word will do. Maybe you should go back and listen to this man, he told you that the Ukrainian service men help the United States out when they didn’t have too but I’m sure you didn’t hear that part because you were probably hiding behind your sister when you made this comment. You are exactly the guy that couldn’t carry this man’s boots. Go back to your knitting.
@@Robertsmith-un5cu Maybe it is foolish, but he leaves his family in the hope of fighting for the freedom of a whole country. It's a sacrifice, and we all hope he makes it back home. But while it takes a lot of mental strength to do what he is doing, a family missing their hero father is worth a whole country able to live free and go home. No one should be obligated to such sacrifice, but no one should be judged for making the choice he made. So yes, he is a hero.
@@user-kr4rz5hn4n your a coward so I don’t think this is the right video you should comment on. You are exactly the person that I say couldn’t carry this man’s boots.
Nothing more then a mercenary killing for money, are you simple or sumtin? Warrior pff true warriors dont fight for money in a battle 10000 miles from their homes, silly kid
You're the equivalent of BLM saying "we want police departments defended" even tho the majority of black Americans depend on and trust law enforcement to keep them safe. No, YOU want war to continue.
This is not for freedom this is US that planned this conflict they told Zelenskyy to provoked Russia until they invaded and started this war US built a military army in Ukraine since 2010 how can It wasn’t planned and provoked from cia to fight against Russia using poor Ukraine
Some may feel strongly negative about a soldier choosing to surrender, but I think it should come down to if the soldier feels the war they're fighting is worth dying for.
What a cool interview of Marine Garrison Foster! Such a well spoken professional, representing both the Stars and Stripes ❤🤍💙 and the Ukrainian blue and yellow Flag. 💙💛 He makes us all proud. 🇺🇲 🇺🇦
@@user-vy4xx2qp3dalmost everyone does. But honestly I think they are getting paid to be there by a Ukrainian security company or American one. Ain't nobody in their right mind would leave their families behind to fight a war in the name of "freedom" for free.
History will prove that what he doing just don’t worth it. I hope he make it thru to be a hero for is family and love ones. I know people might not understand what I’m saying but politicians historically they finance wars and then turn around shake hands with the enemies and even partner with them after so many casualties. Modern War is business and the media is the marketing department of that business. Mankind wise up.
@@user-vy4xx2qp3d i dont think its that the love killing its just all they know at this point for some.. theres a reason why throughout history people have a hard time changing after coming back from war or anyting traumatic
@@lw1zfog Defending Ukraine means defending democracy - We don't want an Authoritarian regime in Western Europe (nor Hybrid Totalitarianism, which Russia is becoming). US aid is greatly needed in Ukraine on top of EU support.
Greetings from Germany, Berlin. I like that Erin Burnett has gone to Ukraine. That shows her real inerest in that topic. I wished there would be more reporters who go to Ukraine instead of sitting in their chairs, especially in Germany. Then they would understand the big need of military help for Ukraine, instead of saying, that Ukraine needs again help, altough we gave them some before.
normalizing the western participation in this war, so that it is not a war of russia against ukraine , but russia against the west. nice media tactics at work here.
