Brutally honest take on Ukraine from a U.S. Army Veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq that is also a Purple Heart recipient:
I have never and will never support the war in Ukraine.
If you do support the war, this tweet is going to offend the shit out of you.
And I honestly don’t care what you think. Some of you may agree, and some of you probably need to hear this.
I have been shot at, blown up, returned fire, everything imaginable. War is serious shit. This is not Call of Duty, this is real fucking life. I cannot even BBQ anymore without being reminded on the smell of human flesh burning. The term “War is hell”, is coined for a reason.
First: I will start with NATO and Europe.
Why the hell are we in NATO if they don’t lift a finger for shit? Why is America always the one that will carry the burden of these asshats. To NATO: If you want this war so badly, then grab a compass and head due East.
Second: You can say whatever you want about President Trump. You can like the man, or you can hate him. However, you cannot argue the point that none of this bullshit was going on when he was President. Just throwing that out there.
Third: Why is it that it took an Airman to leak classified documentation to totally disprove the efforts in Ukraine? Don’t you notice how this story has been wiped from the mockingbird media? They are concealing the truth as well.
Fourth: Where is all of our American taxpayer money going? Let’s be honest about it. How do you “over-calculate” over $6 BILLION DOLLARS of our money for this effort? Where exactly is it going? Into Politician or Zelenskyy’s pockets? If any of us made an “accounting error” on our taxes, we would all be in prison now. This is fraud, waste and abuse putting it lightly.
Fifth: This brings me to another point. Are politicians making money off of this war effort? If so, sorry to say, but you belong in prison. Plain and simple. And that is bipartisan speaking. There are Americans working 2-4 jobs at times just to make ends meet. People are recovering from a lockdown that YOU created.
Sixth: To the Americans backing this war. Why don’t you book yourself a flight to Kyiv and partake in this fight? It’s easy as fuck to be okay with war, while you’re chilling with your Starbucks in your comfortable environment. You love to criticize our country but have never contributed a fucking thing to it.
Last: Why are we not discussing diplomacy? There have been ZERO attempts to sit down like grown fucking men and come to an agreement. None. It is all too clear that they want this war to continue.
I sure as hell don’t claim to know everything, but this bullshit has gone on long enough.
To the dickheads who will inevitably cherry-pick this tweet know this, your opinion does not matter to me. You can comment, but I won’t give you the benefit of replying. Thanks for playing.
I know this is a very long-winded post. But if you took the time to read, thank you for listening.

So no disrespect to @MATTHARDYBRAND cause I've always been a fan. I pre-ordered #aewfightforever but @JEFFHARDYBRAND isn't DLC When Matt was there first. Again no disrespect to Matt or Jeff. Huge fans of both but just odd. Also still wanting the Hardy's theme on Spotify
Audie Murphy was born on this day in 1925. There is sometimes confusion over his birth year because he falsified a birth certificate to join the Army following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He entered the military as a Private at age 17 and rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant before earning a battlefield commission. He was wounded three times, fighting in 9 major campaigns in the Mediterranean and European Theaters of War. He would become the most decorated soldier of World War II receiving the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Colmar Pocket, Holtzwihr, France. After the war, he wrote the bestselling book TO HELL AND BACK and starred in 44 movies. The 1955 movie adaptation of his autobiography was Universal’s highest-grossing film until 1975. He was one of the first to bring attention to what is now known as post-traumatic stress, focusing his efforts on assisting Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. He was killed in a plane crash in 1971. He was 45. He is buried in Section 46 of Arlington National Cemetery.
In part, his Medal of Honor citation reads:
“With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machinegun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad that was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued the single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted.”
After the war, he was asked what had motivated him to take those heroic actions that day. He replied simply: "They were killing my friends.”
The #Jets are exploring the possibility of a 1-year deal in the ~$10M range, to ease the workload of Breece Hall off his ACL injury.
A deal could mean the end of Michael Carters’ tenure in New York.
The #Dolphins “fear” a Cook-NYJ deal, per source.
Deandre Hopkins 👀….. #Jets
Little bird told me that if the money 💰 is right …… Hopkins & @nyjets have mutual interest as he sees them as a very serious Super Bowl Contender
