Tank is joining the Ukrainian International Brigade

[Corksfinedtboy]

100 pc -cunts tripping over themselves to become a hero in Ukraine
Forgetting conveniently about their awful mistreatment on nationalist ppl in tbe 6 counties

No time for any squadie for any reason
Bar the ww1-2 soldiers

Cunts that served in tbe 6 counties are animals and criminals to a man
No excuse

God bless you.

Glad you’re safe and mind yourself mate. Get whatever help you need and perhaps lay off the drink and recreational drugs (if you’re not already) until your head gets to a better place after therapy. After what you have seen that might be tough but you need to give yourself a chance

Obnoxious cunt Yanks are the ruination of the planet.

I suppose the one thing the forum can take from this episode is that it’s best to listen to @glenshane
Still, any satisfaction i might take from being proven right is insignificant in comparison to the relief at seeing @Tank is home and safe

@glenshane

There’ll be some heroism here and there alright, but like all wars There’ll be things like slaughtering your fellow man, becoming a meaningless pawn in geopolitical nonsense, discovering that a lot of what you believed was propaganda, giving up physical and intellectual freedom to make distinctions between right and wrong, war crimes, abuse of prisoners and all the rest

I really hope all that is made up because I desperately want to believe that somebody who posts here has an imagination fertile enough to come up with it. If so, we are walking with a giant of the INTERNET.

If not, and it’s actually true, we are also walking with a giant of the INTERNET. So I guess it’s all good.

You are a hero

[Bandage]

Good man @Tank. Glad you’re safe & you’ll get the prodigal son treatment any time you come back around these parts.

Proper Irishman @Tank

@Ambrose_McNulty

TNH

Agreed. But in fairness it’s the greatest TNH in the history of TFK.

[LionelRitchie]

@Tank

TFK is better without me

The only untruth in all your post.

Welcome back pal, hope you’re doing well

[Massey]

It’s amazing the things lads will fall for.A cracking story to be fair @Tank .

[maroonandwhite]

Fire up a few pics tank be fascinating to see. What kind of gun did they give you? Did you shoot to kill or just to be seen shooting? Hit anything?

Did you ever make it into a tank?

@Tank

The straw that broke the camel’s back was we were passing through a town called Kremenchuk going East one night, doing soldier things, and I met a girl called Galyna. We get talking, she’s a big Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fan, war sucks we both agree, philosophy this, fucking cool drugs that, she wants to be a photographer and then all I can say is boom, the curtains of life open for the first time and I’m standing in a different Kremenchuk outside a different pub by a different river and I’m in love with Galyna. Best looking girl you’ve ever seen, if she was in Ireland she’d be famous. She has no boyfriend she says and we’re texting away the whole time I’m in the East, something to look forward to. I’m nearly thinking about this more than the Russian army trying to kill me. I get my photo taken by the Russian border and then just when I’m heading back to Kremenchuk I see her in the insta for a friend of a friend Brit giving him a lovely big kiss and a cuddle. So basically she was riding the entire International Brigade.

That brought to mind this old Uncle Albert war story from Only Fools and Horses.

The kid in Brazil, nice little hook there for part two of the series

The Super League is the only winner here

[Watchyourtoes]

Free advertisement really, who needs Pepsi when you have @Tank

[glasagusban]

Whatever about anything else you are immensely brave and honest. Mind yourself. We could do with you back here.

[myboyblue]

Do you believe Tanks tale

• Yes of course, you couldn’t make that up
• Fuck no, he’s the greatest yarn teller in the history of the INTERNET

[Cheasty]

People said the story about Socrates not getting his game for UCD when he was studying at the Royal College of Surgeons was a yarn, made up, a figment of some wag’s imagination.

But it wasn’t - it actually happened.

Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.
