Tank is joining the Ukrainian International Brigade

An irrelevant question from an Internet philistine. The tale was beautifully told and we’re all saddened at the prospect of losing @tank feom the forum…even though most of you bloodthirsty ill-informed dullards cheered on his real or imaginary hazardous venture .

Besides, it got a hape of likes.

Its a great tale. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying it for it being truth and it being fiction. People are allowed decide themselves. Dont try put down discussion on a discussion forum you neanderthal.

A 23 year old Irish man who joined the Ukraine armed forces has been killed.

That’s the sneering emoji.

It’s hard enough on the family. RIP.

Strong men came hurrying through

RIP, but there has to be a serious want in some of these folk going out to the Ukraine. Story of an English bloke who was killed recently. Got rejected in his younger days for the army. Went out to Ukraine earlier in 2022, and then said he’d go back out for one last twist before settling into his job as a landscape gardener, and comes back in a box instead, ironically to fertilise the ground in Blighty.

They fertilised enough ground around the world themselves.

He didn’t though
@Tank , just caught up on this now. Glad you’re back. Sign in if you get a minute

Tank admitted it was the thought of solidarity with the Ukrainian soldiers in my avatar what made him sign up, so he did.

Jaysus @Tank, will we give the red army a go?

Reminds me of a pub I was in once in Vietnam

I don’t think adding an ex-wife with firearm skills to the harem would be a wise lifestyle choice

Since when did that have anything to do with it?
