Meanwhile in Ukraine

[Hastur]

If I didn't have children I suppose I would be on my way.

exactly

those guys are gung-ho

but they still don't know the 21 steps of Battle Procedure nor how it is employed to maximum effect

I only have 16 months of military training but that is 16 months more than most Ukrainians.
I'm trained at fighting Soviet armoured columns. Ambush, delay and defend.
This is my arch enemy.

I got 16 years

plus decades of studying warfighting in detail

I am a Light Colonel to these civvies, at the least

to them : I am like a Green Beret

[Smitty-48]

it's not about carrying a rifle

I am an RCR Battleschool / Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Instructor

exponential force multiplier

[Smitty-48]

when you have this knowledge

that they desperately need

you can't help it

you think about, hard

[Smitty-48]

I've picked the phone up a couple times

to call the Ukrainian embassy in Ottawa

then I put it back down

what am I doing here ?

then I think about some more

[Hastur]

I know. I was not expecting these feelings.

I'm thinking of the defenders of Konstantinopel.

[Smitty-48]

I watch the Grad rockets raining down on residential neighborhoods

I feel this pull

to call them on the phone

offer my services

just to see what they would say

[Smitty-48]

if they wanted me to just carry a rifle ?

no point in that, at my age I would be more burden than boon in a tactical role

but if they understood the value of an exponential force multiplier instructor ?

I would seriously consider it

[C-Mag]

This is at least as credible as any war videos out of Ukraine right now.

If that’s real, damn, the Illuminati are real.
