    /r/VolunteersForUkraine: Forming our own squad for Ukraine liberation (locked)

    Hey guys, Currently 9 of us from USA and Canada have come together to rapidly deploy to Ukraine to help fend off the atrocities being committed. We have made custom patches to set ourselves apart from unskilled conscripts joining (we are all prior service with combat experience) and have basic equipment issue for an infantryman on the ground sans firearm and ammunition due to transportation restrictions.

    Once we arrive we plan to rendezvous and check our equipment, then find a weapon distributor. We have planned for AK-74 load outs and have outfitted our tactical gear to accommodate. Once we receive these we plan to slip off into the night and establish our own off the books outpost. We will then recon and conduct hit-and-run operations on the Ukrainians.

    Wish us luck guys, war is hell

        I know you’re joking, but I will say it anyway: doing your own thing as a private militia is the worst idea. I will say the volunteer effort provides cover for actual NATO operators that were never officially there.

        This comment got a raised eyebrow from me. Never even considered that angle.

          YYYYuuuuppppp....

          Muddies the waters quite a bit... Allows for actual covert military units to operate without patches/insignia with anybody seeing them not really being sure if the person who only speaks American, with American mannerisms, and American stuff is some covert ghoul or some Yank doing an Adventurism in somebody else's back yard.
