I was a mortar man in us army also served in Syria. I like to think that had we encountered any Russian troops on the ground we likely would of been more likely to trade patches and smoke cigarettes than we would have a stand off despite our governments disagreeing with one another. Would that be the same sentiment on the RU side?

I asked a similar question and just now realized you’ve already answered it. As an American vet from the same conflict I believe we all would of probably felt the same except for the one guy in our platoon who was originally from eastern Ukraine. I too am bound by non disclosure and my deployment was more recent so I can’t speak about the instances I was afraid of RU/SAA attacks. I also feel like our intervention probably did more harm than good especially the funding of the FSA.

That’s awesome man glad you made it back and I hope your doing better I also have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ptsd (which I attribute more to witnessing my fathers suicide than to Syria, but that definitely aggravated it) but I know some what how you feel. Your deployment sounds like it was much worse than Meier though
