Mariupol will be free! I can’t wait to walk it with the Ukrainian warriors!

Prigo wasted that chance he had on taking Moscow.

Always relevant. Never the case though.

Haha, that is actually so true.

It is not - yet. And the prospects of it turning hot actually increased, as the slow pace of military aid coming to Ukraine, sufficient only not to let Ukraine lose - not to actually win - all that emboldens China to make a move on Taiwan.

True. As a warrior who fought on the battlefield and experienced loss, I can say that grieving always comes. You might push it back, occupied by whatever you are doing, but eventually it reaches you - often like a deluge, taking over you.

Visiting Ukraine ever 3-6 months over the last year plus to study their fight has changed me. I've travelled the world, studied many wars & cultures. The Ukrainian trident is one of the strongest warrior symbols I've ever encountered. Forged in Ukraine by Ukrainians. Respect!

The character of warfare has changed. The walls between soldiers deployed to war & their families no longer exists. I wrote a book describing the wide effects & changes that has on the soldier’s life. Connected Soldiers: Life, Leadership, and Social Connections in Modern War a.co/d/jboozdN
