We Americans said the Alqaeda fighting against us in Afghanistan were illegal enemy combatants. Well if that’s the case, same goes for these guys.

When it rains, you get wet. They knew the risks.

[limo]

Oh wait so you are telling me that going to a war that is not your country and then people expect to be back home safe 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ the volunteer knew the risk now deal with it.

[terrygross]

THUGS ARE ALWAYS TOUGH TILL THEY GET STOMPED.

So sad but the reality is they could be dead already. They knew the risks.

FUN FACT: no Geneva convention rights for these mercenaries. Its to be expected.

[garykane]

Being a soldier of fortune has a downside.😕

[indiopaul]

Fighting for democracy or a few dollars ?

[joshuapaul]

Hundreds of western mercenaries are killed by artillery and airstrikes and nobody even bother to inform their relatives what happened to them. Such a fuss about these three.

"He brave, he tough", yeah every mom tell that to their son, I won't suprise when they appear on social media and say how they have been mislead and how they found out there are Nazis in Ukraine military.
It not my words, that exactly what Aslin( the UK mercenery) said when he captured.

[IndustrialMindedArtist]

2 minute long video and not once did CBS use the word Mercenaries, CBS has mastered the art of propaganda.

[arturocobos]

Next time.... defend and secure your own nation.
Oh wait, there will be no next time O_o

[ibrahimdhere]

Who are they fighting on behalf of? America isn’t fighting against Russia 🇷🇺?…The media should have encouraged these so called War Volunteers to stay home. War isn’t a video game.

[harrybriscoe]

The two women are like this is not fair and the entire world has to find out about them While cities are getting leveled with casualties on both sides Guess what ladies They may be casualties of wart

[marathon]

"they had just gotten man should have just stayed home...nobody sent him there....

[SunRise-lrch]

No loss..they should have defended OUR border.
if you go..burn your papers and dont come back.

[GardenerEarthGuy]

They obviously have some issues- nobody would want either of them moving into your neighborhood.

Russia warned people about getting involved and exactly what happens to those who do....

[Tmorans]

Don’t go and fight someone else’s war…..come on man. Stay home vets, protect our homeland. I’m a vet, but I’m about protecting America at this point. Unless you have orders from OUR commanders in OUR military you are taking your own risks. I hope they make it home to their families whom they never should have left in the first place.
