Willy Joseph Cancel, a dumbass 22-year old former USA marine, got killed in Ukraine. Widowing his wife and leaving behind a 7 month baby. Aside from being a former marine at 22 (somehow) he was a corrections officer who dreamed of being a NYPD officer. Strong :le-pol-face: vibes
His widow and kid are literally better off with him dead. :acab-3:
Unironically yes. If he was smart he kept his VG life insurance and they got a huge payout.
But he probably wasn't.
Yeah, I know. You have to go out of your way to get rid of that though and this guy doesn’t seem like he made a lot of intentional choices besides whatever the nearest white supremacist told him to do.
Anyways
:crab-party:
You have to go out of your way to get rid of that
Actually, when you separate from the military you have to go out of your way to keep your insurance by filling out the right forms before the 120 day deadline. SGLI/VGLI is the best life insurance in the country though.
Who the hell does a military tour as a private, then decides they absolutely need to do mercenary work? Why would they want even more shitty, life threatening work conditions?
Was probably "asked to leave" the Marines for whatever reason (maybe war crimes), but still wanted to murder people.
Then, he found out the hard way that there's plenty of people in the world capable of murdering him right back.
maybe war crimes
That just gets you promoted! He probably was just too much of a pants shitting coward for even the US military.
Nah, I think it really depends who you are. If you're a reasonably intelligent and "useful" person to have around, then yeah, they're perfectly happy to have you going around doing war crimes if that's what makes you happy. But if you're so stupid that everyone occupying the same room as you starts forgetting how to breathe, and you're some kind of psychopathic murdering freak, then they'll probably be glad to have the excuse to get rid of you.

20 years of Call of Duty and an occupation of a country while at a complete power advantage versus fighting a peer military for the first time since Korea or something.
:fuck-around:

The Marines would probably not send you home for war crimes. You're much more likely to get sent home for either having a mental illness or reporting being sexual assaulted. Both equally dishonorable, in their eyes.
Probably hates his wife, wanted a way out (be either death becoming a chud martyr or just crossing the border and living a new life in Uzbekistan or something
Most American mercenaries follow this trajectory. During the height of Iraq and Afghanistan, PMC pay was a lot better than military pay while doing less dangerous work and having fewer rules. I think that ship has sailed though and it definitely didn't apply to Ukraine's foreign division, which has been treating its volunteers like chaff this entire conflict.
Critical support for Ukraine sending chuds across the world to an early death.
Sir he was chasing the glory of a solider's life! Far more honorable than the soibois at home masturbating and gaming!
I realize that he was almost certainly a shitty dad but like, what level of soullessness is leaving behind your wife and infant child to go play at being a mercenary? :jesus-christ:
Hope his widow's boyfriend is ready to step up and give that kid the non-CHUD upbringing it deserves.
The widow was who convinced the marine it would be very cool and brave if he went to Ukraine, gets to start a new life with that sweet, sweet life insurance.
Considering the stories some of the bazinga brigadiers have told about how foreign fighters are treated, I like how the article doesn't specify who killed him, just that he died fighting alongside Ukrainians
Also lmao @ the replies saying that he died "for freedom and democracy", such hilariously meaningless phrases
Sucks for the baby though, rooting for the widow to find a step-dad who won't run into a bunch of kalashnikovs at the first opportunity

Dude was a marine, hopefully she's already got a boyfriend/girlfriend/enbyfriend on speed dial

i really liked the comment exchange that was, more or less:
"war crimes are bad but I respect your opinion!"
"i respect your opinion about bad war crimes, but russia bad!"
"I respect your respect of my opinion war crimes russia bad!"
"Much respect!"
RespectRespectRespectRespectRespectRespectRespect
WhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhy :why-angel:
Russians just saved the life of whoever he would have gunned down as an NYPD officer.
Gonna be wild when the kid grows up, "I never knew my Dad, he died in the Reddit brigades..."
Just want to say when I read the name Willy Joseph Cancel, I almost spit my food out from laughing so hard.
