    Yes, I was here today and blown off the top bunk of my bunk bed in the barracks by the first missile. I made a long post about it but my posts don't show on this thread for some reason. This is where all the foreign legion troops are, the 35 killed were all Ukrainian mostly due to a direct hit on their barracks next to mine. The base is destroyed, the weapons depot destroyed, possibly the end of the legion. About 60 people with their heads on straight including myself left after the attack. They're sending untrained guys to the front with little ammo and shit AKs and they're getting killed. The guys who stayed got bombed again in the afternoon and casualties aren't clear. If you still want to to join them I'm not sure what the process will be since literally all the infrastructure supporting the training/assignments of volunteers is all destroyed. The guys who are there now will all be going to Kviv and many will die, the legion is totally outgunned and has a few crazy Ukrainian leaders. After the attack one officer wanted to march everyone to Kviv and fight. Absolute insanity. Stay home.

    [Wait, left? From Ukraine?] Left the legion. Some are staying to help refugees - some going home. But it is clear that going to Kviv with the legion is nearly a fucking death sentence. A medic died the day after he got to the front, another guy tried shooting an AK at an APC and was killed immediately (WHERE IS THIS VIDEO?), a 10 man team was nearly wiped out - 8 killed and 2 crawled away. Your body will not be retrieved from the frontlines either.

    Yeah morale was pretty good until today. No one thought the base would get bombed due to its proximity to Poland, but after not having any warning of inbound missiles (there's alarm systems all around the base for that), no effort of anti aircraft measures, and then no issuing of weapons when the base was potentially under threat for an attack a lot of people were really just left feeling like no one stands a fucking chance, especially when things get real bad in Kviv.

    Yeah it was weird. Some sirens from another part of base went off at 3:30 am for a short period. But the attack occurred at just about 545 with no warning, and they were in fighter jets so it should have been picked up.

    Thanks man. The cannon fodder term is what was coming out of a lot of volunteers mouths that's why I mentioned it. There was a real shift in peoples expectations of being utilized as a unit with operational capabilities vs. the reality of basically being bodies in front of the advancing Russians

    Yes morale is pretty bad I mean the whole damn base was destroyed and now the legion is just kind of shoving guys with little training to the front. Not at all, they make you sign a contract that states you'll serve until the end of the conflict, but if you want to leave an hour later they totally respect that

    I appreciate that. And honestly I got a full nights sleep the bastards hit us at about 6. Luckily they didn't hit at 7 because we would have been at chow and the chow hall took a direct hit.

        My qualifications? Very good at both Hearts of Iron 4 and Shogun 2: Total War.

        I'll take double handgun and grenade launcher if we can choose.

          Yeah they were just trying to shoot the doors off the APC battlefield style. Then they'd launch the grenade in and take out the evil Russians!

          All the HOI4 experience will come in handy for breaking the Russian encirclements at almost every major Eastern Ukrainian city.

            Disclaimer: I only play against bots. With this being a PVP game, I don't know if my strategies will work as well. I would still like to enlist as a general though if we can choose our rank.

            The purpose of the AF2011A1 pistol is to increase the ballistic capability of .45 ACP without the need to develop a more powerful round.

            increase the ballistic capability

            of .45 ACP

                  That certainly wasn't my intent.

                  A lot of toxic masculinity is rooted in homophobia, transphobia, and misoginy. The abuses young boys face and inflict on each other tend to follow us into adulthood one way or another.

                  One incredibly harmful response is contemporary gun culture and all the toxic behaviours and beliefs that go along. Some men would sooner buy a gun that can dislocate a shoulder than introspect on their relationship to gender expectations and performativity.

                      I've edited my original comment. It was never my intent to make my comrades feel abused or attacked. You don't have to engage further but I would appreciate your input on the edit, and if it carries the meaning without being mean. Sorry.

        And it's only 6 miles/10km from the Polish border post as well. Couldn't even hide the base away from the point all the foreigners are entering the country from.

      Heres my contribution to the dunk tank:

      The legion was actually amazingly well-put together in some ways, uniforms were great, armor provided, good food.

      Do they supply you with those cool nazi patches too or do you have to bring your own?

      "Oh no, the memes, they have failed us!"

      War doesn't look quite the same against a real military as when you're kicking down the doors of cowering villagers and shooting up their families now does it?

      I hope these dirtbags, many of whom claim to have 'served' in Iraq and Afghanistan, never come home and die screaming painful deaths, and if they must come home it's in wheelchairs with lots of parts missing.

      For My Lai, Haditha and every other massacre of civilian life you removed dirtbags.
