Leaving your five children to fight a war for a foreign country? Obviously Rest In Peace, but that's abandoning your responsibilities at home to fight a war that isn't yours to fight. Now they're without a father and the media wants me to applaud this?

What a stupid thing to do. Now there are FIVE children without a father. SMH

Dude isn't a hero. He abandoned his wife and kids to fight a foreign war that isn't his to fight.

[scottoman]

sorry for your loss. that's terrible, but honestly, if you have 5 kids, stay home ffs! now america has 5 more kids that get to grow up without a father.

He's not a hero. He's an idiot for leaving his children and putting his life at risk.

My heart goes out the his family....he recognized that Ukraine is fighting a war for all of the free world...and made the ultimate sacrifice. I hope this nation continues to provide support for his efforts and Ukraine. Rest in peace young man. You are a true HERO!

He went to go fight in a pointless war instead of raising his children
Madness

So sad, wish he had focused his energy on his children who needed him here. My heart goes out to them and the rest of his family.

My heart falls out for my fellow American. May his soul rest in peace. Legend will never be forgotten

Thank you for your sacrifice! You fought for the free world which I have only been able to experience because of people like you. It's people like you that represent the best of America! RIP from Australia.

Yea I’m sure his wife and kids are proud of dad dying in a war we had nothin to do with.

War is truly one of the worst things to happen to us as people. RIP to this man who lost it fighting for a nation under invasion when he didn't even have to. Hope his kids know how much of a great man he was.
