Ukraine

I just think its a bad look. I know it was all volunteer but they should have told him no. Perhaps he did serve just as well if not better than someone who wasn't an amputee - kinda like Oscar Pistorius being in the Olympics, but again the optics of it don't make sense for me.

You know what he should have done was been a recruiter. He might have been able to guilt trip some of these evaders into joining.
He may have been able to do that, but, he also may have won just as many recruits by doing exactly what he did. I have zero problem with someone making that choice. It should be the individual's choice to return if he wants to and is physically able to. I don't know if I would have, but I'd like to think so.

And tbh, I'm really not seeing or feeling the bad look here. Who would think it's a bad look? I would think most Ukrainians would honor him for what he did. I'm not in their shoes, so I can't say that with certainty tho.
