    What these guys are doing is incredible! But the fact you are showing what the media isn't is just awesome! Safe travels!
    Edit* When I mention The Media I'm not talking about their agenda, I'm speaking solely on the fact that he's going where the media can't for whatever that reason is. But I don't doubt there are many of them not covering specific areas due to whatever their agenda might be.

      It is most definitely not the case that "the media isn't" covering post-combat liabilities being addressed; while this is most definitely the best coverage I have viewed, it isn't the first, but only one among many on the EOD mission.

      it is not, they are warhungry mercenarys who do unethical things just for being payed well. The voulanteers are eaven worse: they not only lack moral, they also belive all the propaganda that has been out there or are hating russians because of racist ideologie with the ukraine war being the only "legal" situation for them to kill russians and feed their racist/fashistic belives.

    Bro, I'm saying this from the very bottom of my soul...instead of staying home and trying to live out your best life, you are giving what little life you have left of yours to make sure others don't lose theirs. I don't think there is a more selfless thing someone can do. I stumbled upon this video, I have no clue who you are, but your message needs to be flown for all to see. We need more of you in this world. You are setting an example to all those of us who sit on their hands and demand a change from our keyboards. You are one of a kind and we need to learn from you before you go. I'm not a religious person, but Godspeed brother.

Chaos and destruction are easy- but there are more of us in the civilized world dedicated to building bridges than your ilk chewing like termites at the foundation.

    In Germany there are still land mines laid down by the 3rd Reich (Wehrmacht and SS). Those mines are made out of glass (Glasmine 43) and are put into the forests of the Eifel National Park or the Vogelsang Training Area.
    Those regions are still not safe to walk, as the mines are still able to explode 75 years after the war has ended. Any land mine should be banned. Especially, if the mine could be detonated by a kid or any other person.
