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

    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.
