- Justin went to Ukraine to fight shortly after the war started. He served with the infamous Azov battalion.
"The Azov Movement is a far-right nationalist network of military, paramilitary, and political organizations based in Ukraine. The paramilitary Azov Battalion component formed in 2014 before integrating into the Ukrainian National Guard as a Special Purposes Regiment. Following integration, Azov Regiment veterans broadened the movement to include a political wing, National Corps, and a paramilitary wing, National Militia. It is notable for its recruitment of far-right foreign fighters from the U.S., Russia, and Europe, as well as extensive transnational ties with other far-right organizations. In 2022, the movement came to renewed prominence for fighting against Russian forces in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Mariupol." - Center for International Security and Cooperation

dude, this guy needs therapy not an interview. come on....
also, it's really unfair to blame people for not showing bodies, when they're literally NOT ALLOWED to show them. You're being ridiculous. UA-cam banned it. News media bans it. If you'd all allow the truth, you'd no longer need to go into these zones as green as this dude obviously did. He's never seen a dead body before? Emergency doctors would have been better mentally prepared than him about some of this stuff. This really feels exploitatory for you to be doing this interview when he was clearly unprepared and is not clearly traumatized. I don;t know what point you're trying to make...but it feels exploitatory.
You and Perun are some of the best youtubers reporting about the war in Ukraine. While the latter covers things from a logistics and macro-level, you cover things on a micro-level, interviewing actual soldiers with boots on the ground and letting them tell inconvenient truths that mainstream media won't cover. God bless, my man.
so Ukraine has been murdering women kids everyone since 2014 and shelling built up civilian areas and now it’s not ok that Russia is sorting out the situation this height of ignorance and two faced go on tell me I’m wrong eh
The history actually isn’t complicated look up Stephen Bandera in ww2
One of the best war testimonials I’ve ever watched. The interviewer knew exactly when to be silent and let him speak and when to ask questions. Good work putting this together
Except for the times when he put clips of Ukrainians yelling over him
I'm an Australian Vietnam veteran and, from my observations, most wars tend to be thrown by people who expect to make a lot of money out of it, but we're the ones put in harm's way.
The vast majority of people everywhere would rather get on with each other. However, there are a relatively few people who massively profit from us not getting on and they're the ones running things. We're just the disposable cannon fodder.
BTW, every nation has its cultural narrative, its own story of who we are and what we stand for, and, without exception, they are fabrications. Ours assures us we have democracy, government of the people, by the people, for the people, but you'd have to be blind, deaf and dumb to not notice the massive corporate influence on our govt. What we have is govt of the people, by and for the corporations. It shouldn't be hard to work out which corporations are enriched by war.
Beware of our own regimes' propaganda, particularly any encouraging us to war. We too were fed stories of Viet Cong killing kids which turned out to be BS, like WMDs in Iraq.
Did you fly to Vietnam of your own volition and find the nearest gang of Nazis with guns? I seriously doubt it. Your experiences are mot rh sane.
@@gavinhillick Pretty much, I was a volunteer in an army of conscripts.
I don't care if you doubt me or not, you can learn from what I wrote or stay comfortably numb, brainwashed by our BS cultural narrative.
Feel free to keep believing the people who are robbing you blind.
@Robin Harrison "Feel free to keep believing the people who are robbing you blind" says the man who volunteered to fight in Vietnam. Jesus Christ, man. Have you no self-awareness or sense of personal responsibility? And I retract my previous statement. Turns out you actually are the same. A couple of dopes with more bloodlust than sense. Aussies really are Uncle Sam's obedient attack dog.
@Robin Harrison And how on Earth can you whine about being cannon fodder when you made the choice? I'd have some sympathy if you were a conscript, but you asked for it.
@@gavinhillick You're right, I did make the choice. A choice based on the lies I was told and the lies are what I'm objecting to. Are you or are you not aware that the USA entered that war by lying about attacks on US warships in the Bay of Tonkin that never happened? But hey, feel free to keep believing the lies.
Open your mind and read my original comment again.
This young bloke sounds like he could break down at any minute, War is Hell for all involved except for the ones at the very top who profit largely from young men and women dying, good interview Brother 👍🏻🇦🇺
anti-war marine is a oxymoron
Why my relatives didnt break? Why are you keen to fantasise about breaking rather then doing the right thing?

I was a 22 year old Sgt when I was in the Battle of Nasiriyah in 2003, we lost 18 Marines there, my enlistment ended and I reupped and went to a unit that pushed out Sept 2004 and ended up in the Second Battle of Fallujah where we lost 33 Marines. Did one more enlistment and two more deployments with loses on those deployments too. Came home and I did alright for a while, then one day a couple years later when I had taken time off work to deer hunt, and the second I was in down time everything came rushing back. Things I had kept tucked away in the back of my head came rushing back. You can do counseling and all that, the VA pills don't work, I just put a pack on my back, grabbed my bow, and arrows, took my dog, and took off walking. Sometimes that is all you can do is just disappear and walk and think and pray until you have found your peace, or peace as much as folks like you and I can call peace. Hope you find your way together bro
3rd battalion first marines?
Everyone deals with trauma different and what not everyone tells you is it never truly goes away. Speaking from experience I went through 15 years of therapy(on and off) and I had completely given up on it. I saw no improvement from the therapy and I convinced myself it was doing harm even. It also wasn't really 100% my decision to go to therapy, it was something that I was led into while I was in a altered state of mind(just experienced life changing traumatic event) so while I knew it was something that was recommended and I consented, it was not the right time for me. I stopped going and for years on my free time I would just disconnect go fishing or hunting and I found peace in that and was able to get my head right enough to rebuild my life. My demons never fully went away though and eventually I realized that I never gave therapy a chance to begin with because my pain was so great that all I wanted to do was escape it. The main purpose of therapy is not to get over the pain or escape the pain, it is to confront it and try and understand how it is impacting you behind the scenes so you can take back control over your mind. I decided to go back and I started to see huge improvements in my quality of life and I think the key was deciding I needed it for myself and going into it with a list of things I needed help correcting/understanding. I guess my point is that if you are finding progress and peace doing what you are doing keep doing it but keep an open mind because this stuff has a way of sneaking up on you later and there is no shame in getting help sorting it out. Thanks for your service dude and I wish you the best
@@alexn8795 I have tried to go to a counselor because to be honest like you I am good with most things, but there are still a couple things do sneak up and grab me when I am not ready. I mean they aren't quite as bad as they used to be, but when they hit they aren't the way I know I could live life. I just have not had real good luck with finding someone I feel right working with. My first experience was a guy that I worked with for a year, and I would just leave there more angry because i just felt every appointment was a waste of time, after a year, nothing really had changed. So I talked to the schedulers at the VA explained to them I had tried for over a year and just didn't feel like I was getting anywhere, can they please switch me to another provider. Set up my appointment, came back two weeks later, and right back into the office of the guy I tried to switch from. So I quit trying. Then about 6 months later I decided to try again. Went to VA farther from me but was promised a new provider. I walked in optimistic, this guy comes in late and you could tell he was over stretched, walked in sat down, looked at me and immediately asked if I was really involved in direct combat, had I lost friends and had I really ever killed anyone, then sat there and stared at me and said nothing more. I knew we weren't going to connect and he was over stretched with patients and responsibilities and I would not get the treatment I was needing through him. So I quit. Then last year, gave it another go, had one bad interaction but was determined to keep trying and finally I found someone that I would have never thought I would feel comfortable with talking about things with her, and man we really connected, she had crazy colored hair, bright wild make up and clothes, and was about as tall as she was around, nothing like I thought I would feel comfortable with, but I knew she was dedicated and willing to work hard with me and I felt like a human with her. Then the VA with out warning transfered her and I just have not found anyone I felt comfortable with since and then and been frustrated. I tried to use my private insurance to get into a civilian counselor, but the wait was so long I just gave up. It is a mess. I hope I find someone to work with eventually, just no luck yet brother. Thank you my friend, but no need to ever thank me, it was an honor to serve my country and an honor to be able to call some true heroes my brothers

Even better is not to go somewhere far to kill. You have that choice. Not to mention problems you made for people in places you mentioned. What is advice for them? To talk to someone, walk...
What you did to yourself you did to locals also. Pray...I agree with that only. You people do evil things and come to support each others...
I must be insane for not understanding amount of this things in comments...
Pray. You did wrong. You're not even the victom in your story. Do you know that?
Wow, Justin narrates the reality of the situation very well, it is important that his story is told. Thank you both.
I have watched a lot of these types of interviews and this one is the best. The way the young man describes the war, leaves me speechless. I hope he mentally recovers and I wish him all the best.
you never recover mentaly from that kind of things.
“People will support anything that makes them feel comfortable”
Damn
I've watched this from start to finish. I'm incredibly grateful to Justin for sharing his story so unfiltered and openly. I'm also grateful to Willy for letting the man speak. He didn't interrupt Justin at all, only asking a handful of single sentence questions throughout. This is the way such an interview should be conducted. I feel terrible for Justin, having to deal with the trauma of heavy combat for extended.
He does such a phenomenal job interviewing. I’m so impressed. and there’s so much story because he just lets the interviewee tell the tale.
He wanted this. What did he expect to see in a war?
@P in his defense, he was lied to and believed the media version. He thought he was going in to fight some goofy, unorganized force that just kept losing like the media attempts to portray.
Unfortunately he realized firsthand that the media exists to influence, not inform.
@@jrky8857 What media betrayed they lost from the start.. most i seen tell the truth. only thing is they don't show the dead.. the smell and can't give you the feeling of being scared and not knowing if you will survive.
Willy interviewed the Aussie and i have seen some American volunteers.. those who have had previous combat experience know the reality.
Some never want to experience it ever again and other's will push through to fight for freedom.
@@nedkelly9688 Early on a lot of media sources were pushing the idea that Putin thought it would be over in a few days and was losing because it wasn't. They also continually attempt to make it sound like he's losing and on the verge of being defeated, which isn't true, and have even been caught creating fictional propaganda pieces like the ghost of kiev, etc.
That's more of what I was referring to and what I believe this guy was talking about in the interview. That stuff paints a picture that does not at all reflect the reality this guy was walking into, so it's no surprise that his expectations were out of line with what he was facing.
This interview was awesome! This kid is still young and a bit naïve, but you can see that he saw the real deal, and is now suffering full on PTSD. Not having anyone to talk to about this, wishing he could talk to his parents. I don't mean to insult him by calling him naïve, he is what you would expect at that age... and getting the real life lessons that are just brutal for anyone much less his age to take. I think if anything he is 10 years wiser, if not 20 after this ordeal. I hope he deals with his PTSD, because he can use all this horror to do good deeds and have a positive life, but if he doesn't take good care of himself and if he does not keep away from booze and drugs it can be a hell that no one can pull him out of. I just hope he turns this into a positive life because he can easily become a ceo an important leader with what he has seen. He knows things that few humans do, and unfortunately this knowledge destroys many. Justin I love your honesty, I love that you admit that you were scared, that you were constantly searching for meaning, that if you could snap your fingers and be home you would have but you did not want to look like a quitter and you saw it through to the end, so much so that you almost ended up in Mariupol. Bro salute to you, you can be leader and pillar in this life if you use what you saw to your advantage... the senselessness of it all, the randomness, the luck, the beauty of being alive and of having loved ones, caring about others, hoping this never happens again. You jumped into a Calderon for the right reason, but you realized how naïve you were in the end, how naïve we all are, how no one knows till they are actually there. You can use all this... I have seen in WW2 veterans who became pillars of their communities, who had that look, that walk that no one was going to rob them of their destiny.
He sure won’t be voting for the next generation to play this fools game.
you have to be a bit naive to sign up for a war you have no political understanding of right?
This is the heaviest story I've heard from a foreign volunteer in Ukraine. Justin is extremely fortunate to be alive. He was dealt a bad hand in two combat engagements, and statistically he had a low chance I'd survival. I sincerely hope he can find some inner peace and continue to live a peaceful and rewarding life. Live well sir!
This kid clearly does not have the mental wherewithal to be fighting in a Ukrainian existential conflict of this nature. He didn't belong anywhere near the frontlines. At best they should have given him some rear duty. War is hell and not everyone is cut out for it.
I thought Ukraine only accepts veterans who've seen actual combat.
Man I wonder how common these stories are, because if they are the true casualty rate must be atrocious
@@galaxydogs5828 they were atrocious. And still can be. During the northern offensive a few weeks ago. Not many were talking about the the Ukrainian losses on the southern front. They lost around 4 thousand Ukranian soldiers in that 2 weeks just in the south.
@@jeremymoore16 That's Bullshit
The part that hit the most was the school part."these kinds will come back,they are going to go to school,put those stuff back"
I watched the entire thing; 1. If you’re not a Ukrainian, back off…be a keyboard warrior if you must….don’t fight and die in a war you have no business with.
2. Who ever thinks war with Russia will be a walk in park will get the same reality check Justine had.
3. The US leadership’s obsession with wars…and its campaign in the middle-east makes them think they’ll have the same victory and success against a conventional army. Even if the US sends their troops in there…they’ll suffer a similar fate.
War is bad, everyone dies. But as drums of war beats louder. Try not to get killed❤
Trying to stay one step ahead of PTSD is like being chased by a pack of hungry wolves. When the lead wolf gets tired, a rested one moves up and takes the lead, while you continue tiring... One slip, one trip and fall, and they'll catch you and tear you up... Get help, get them off your ass, and live your life. God bless brother.
Sounds like the voice of experience.
A huge part of the rehabilitation process is being able to speak about your experience. This way you can share your feeling and get understanding. He is suffering of PTSD. I hope he can manage it and live a normal civilian life. And get some psychologist help.
This kid clearly does not have the mental wherewithal to be fighting in a Ukrainian existential conflict of this nature. He didn't belong anywhere near the frontlines. At best they should have given him some rear duty. War is hell and not everyone is cut out for it.
I thought Ukraine was accepting only veterans who've seen actual combat.
Yeah shits crazy hopefully he can live in peace. He's eventually going to want to go back
his voice are shaking sometimes when he wants to explain some of the experiences, you can tell you wants to burst out and cry
@P I don’t think he’s on good terms with them. It seems like he was in the military for a while and then had a hard time adjusting once he got out. He alluded to some combat in Afghanistan. I believe his family felt like he was giving up on himself and he didn’t really tell them where he went. They even reached out to law enforcement to find him. My conjecture is that he went to Ukraine under the assumption that he would die. Although it’s a long road to recovery for him, I believe he found a new lease on life after coming to close to death. Rough stuff. Hope he’s well.
Sorry to hear your parents haven’t been willing to talk to you about a pretty significant impactful series of events in your life. I know that hurts. Glad you could talk about it with all of us man. Stay strong.
Idk. Both my parents are Vietnam vets. It was very rare to hear them talk about it. Maybe his father is of the same school of thought.
it’s sad, but I’m sure they are suffering too. I’m sure the stress probably put his mom over the edge, he is probably worried about his wife and doesn’t feel she can handle the stories. He definitely has a lot to get off of his chest and should join a PTSD group at the VA. I really hope he gets some help and doesn’t turn to drugs and alcohol like I have. He has been through a lot, he has been through some of the most intense combat since WWII.
Yeah man that's gotta be a tough conversation to have. Our kid volunteered to live the mercenary lifestyle and now he's kind of messed up. They are probably glad that he came back but what can they say?
perhaps the emphasis on far right paramilitary, far right politics, far right this - that turns the mind away from anything to do with this regiment.
@@ehayes7849 Far Right is better is better than Far Wrong
Is anyone going to talk about Azov “ideology”? As a German, I was quite shocked to see so many Nazi tattoos and ss runes within their ranks. Can anyone shed any light?
Ya they’re full on … they were with them in ww2, they still idolize those leaders 🤮
They fought against Russia in WW2 as Nazis. For that reason they're idolized
What? Thats not true. SS runes - what it is in the first place? Its nordic symbols for talismans which protects travelers and warriors. Its not even part of german culture.
@@lucaslod2731 lol jog on you tool. I hate it when people are disingenuous
@@lucaslod2731 sorry? You don’t even make sense. Take a deep breath, think, read your statement and realise there might just be some issues with it. What isn’t true? What statement did I make that wasn’t true? I asked questions. I wasn’t even judging anything but simply asking. Is that not allowed anymore, sir?
The point where he said I hope I'm financially and mentally stable enough to have a family. From a former digger to another soldier, family is the thing that helped me get financially and mentally stable. Don't wait until you are ready, bite it all off now and chew like hell brother, it never gets easier but our shoulders are broad enough to carry the load. I'm really sorry I can't contact you directly man because I'm nothing next to what you've done and I hurt most days, but my family is why I can carry on.
Such good advice bro. All the best mate.
Everyones ptsd is different it can be a disaster for a family. In todays world 80-93% of the time women file for divorce and use your kids as weapons against you.
He literally volunteered for a Nazi battalion to fight with. Azov is all volunteer.
First become mature, financially and mentally stable and a only happymaker and then do family. Family is not meant to live with your shit and disolve your shit in life.
I hope this young man finds peace and happiness in his life. I am so grateful that he shared his story and grateful to the interviewer for giving us a chance to hear it. This was a terrifying and sobering account of war. I wish I could hug this guy and be their of he needed anything. Please continue to find these people with these stories. Incredible.
War is hell. When you see Bodies everywhere, and Dogs, etc, feasting on the remains and walking around with Bodyparts it's a pretty shocking thing to see. And Morters, etc, one minute your Buddy is there the next there is nothing left. Russians in a foxhole, it gets hit. They get up confused stumling trying to find cover only to walk in to Ukrainian and get mowed down. A Russian cutting the scrotum off of a Ukrainian POW. War is hell.
But PLEASE have you even seen a dead body before young man?!?And you are HOME 🏡 now….Ukraine fighting for anybody surviving to put INTO a home years from now….
You would hug and love a natsee sympathizer?!? What kind of person are you, geessh...
This man needs healing and love because he is a human being. Can you not see that. He is not out to ethnically cleanse anyone. He didn't initially join to fight along side Nazis, though he did end up with them. He joined to fight because he wanted to make a difference for average Ukrainians. Yes he got caught up in their fervor but such a young man, resigned to death, living amongst people who thought they were invincible, that would be very hard to resist whilst being in an extreme survival situation.
@@Len_M. Russians literately got a phone number to call and not be in that fox hole and get mowed down. What even remotely similar options do the Ukrainians got?
Dude your story hit me like a sledgehammer please do a book . Thanks for sharing this with me your a inspiration.
"just accepting death is easy - but trying to live...thats so hard."
that hit me...
Incredible interview, thank you so much for sharing your stories I wish you all the best and that you get to do all the things that make you happy which you were thinking about in Ukraine many many times.
I heard that part and tried to browse the comment section........... this boy is so naive but brave and smart.. oh, lucky too!!!
Is this video an attempt to put a human face on the American people--installing their governments in Kiev and elsewhere and waging wars by their armies manned by Ukrainians (in this instance)? Is not it time to go home, for Americans to their homes, and for Banderaists to their homes?
@@TsarOfRuss No he's a fool , this had zero to do with him and he ran into a meat grinder , now complains about his PTSD.
I feel sorry for the Ukes for beng so stupid to let Zelensky destroy them and their country for what exactly ? Beyond all that how many children did the Ukes kill from 2014 forward as well as totally innocent people with their artillary ?
The Ukes have fought well but it is time to stop this all because it cannot be won, only more destruction will be the outcome in people and things.
@@parabot2 He didn't really have a choice did he eh?
Thank you Justin for putting out your story. I hope you find a lot of healing. The pain in your voice translated how horrible war is. You are helping people in more ways than you can imagine.

@@KishorTwistThey don't care, their hate for Russia will even make them love Nazis

Thanks for giving him a platform to tell his story. Pretty intense.
You're right Willy, this is one of your best. Justin is a great story teller, if only he knew, and could appreciate it. I'm sure he will one day. His future is bright, and the world is a much, much better place for him being in it! He is intuitively, humanly, empathetically, intelligent, insightful and capable of speaking from heart to heart. He paints an extremely vivid picture of his experience, and is not afraid of showing how us how afraid he was. Thank you Justin! Thank you Willy for facilitating this interview, and for keeping this, and other records of the War.
This is the first interiew I've seen when the soldier is clearly traumatised. Others are like robots, somehow detached (no blame here, coping technique) and talk about war like we'd talk about how to make a sandwich... He really is a brave one. Not only for going to Ukraine, but most of all for talking about his trauma. Openly addmitting that trying to live after that is hard... Hope he gets all the help he needs, heals and sorts his demons out.
It’s pretty wild to see so much support for someone who volunteered to join a Nazi militia who slaughtered 10,000+ civilians over the course of 8 years. I guess we’re getting pretty progressive.
@@ApocalypseYesterday They aren't Nazis they are Jews in Nazi costumes lmfao

Yeah I’ve watched a few of those too. A lot of those guys sounded like they were on some safari or some shit. Spend a few weeks over there a few kilometers away from the front then leave and come back doing ‘expert’ interviews. You can tell this kid was definitely in the thick of it. I don’t think he was very smart going looking for it based off what the media showed him, but I’m glad he made it and hopefully he finds some piece in this life.
First real thing that I've really heard about the war since its beginning. I really hope this war will stop soon. Thank you for telling your story and thank you for trying to help others, we need more empaths in this world.
I think he really needed to tell his story and I'm very glad he did. Especially to Willy, I'm glad he came to you with his story.
Hi 👋 Willy, I had the opportunity to stumble upon “Untold Reality of Wagner group in Bakhmut”, one of your documentaries 3 months ago and I realised how little I knew about the conditions in battle of the Ukrainian army and the corruption surrounding it, including the attitude of some senior personnel of the ADF. This was an eye opener for me. I am an old man and I can see that nothing changed since my time. Thank you for uncovering the truth and for the courage to bring it to light. Love you Man
Dude has been through things that haven't been seen in nearly 80 years. Incredible interview; Justin was awesome and you knew to STFU for the guy because he was letting shit flow. You guys recorded a piece of history here.
I don't think any Americans volunteered to fight for the Nazis back then.
It's only been about 50 years.
some real gems from this interview, further proving The Azov Battalions issues with blatant Nazism.
" Oh I thought they were gonna send us a N-word "
" Yeah they were doing Nazi salutes and called themselves Nazis "
" Our Commander was really racist , but he liked me for some reason "
" When he opened up his laptop there was a desktop wallpaper of Hitler "
I'm glad the majority of these evil, racist and hateful individuals perished in Mariupol. Thousands died, and thousands more are doing hard labor in Siberia. Both fates deserves for their disgusting ways.
Funny everyone praises the nazis these days, brainwashed sheep
@@CarolReidCA WW2 ended in 45... 78 years ago.. then round it up....
So yes it was 80 years , not 50
I hope Justin seeks counseling. He is a strong young man. I pray for healing for you and healing with his parents. Stay strong, you have your whole life ahead of you to enjoy.
3 hours that felt like no more than 30 minutes. What an intense story from start to finish!
This needs to be a movie. Incredible story telling. Incredible interview. Thank you.
There certainly will be movies. I really wish his stories will come to a wider audience.
Thank you Justin and Willy. We do want to know the truth. As the daughter, granddaughter and niece of men who fought in wars, I respect that on both sides there are people with families.

"I suddenly didn't care about fighting anymore, I didn't have any bloodlust in me anymore I just... I just felt a little sad is all."
Unreal how this guy went somewhere for the wrong reason and will now have to live with the guilt of serving for the modern day SS
LOL
Few minutes in and it seems this lad may not have known what he had signed up for but will listen to the rest before casting to much judgment on his views, Good on him for going their and putting his life on the line regardless.
Hopefully he can learn to live happily with his experiences.
I was thinking the same thing
Unless u have experience, no one knows what they are getting into.
How would he have known? Watching CNN you don't get any insight. Right now this war is much less documented than any other war in last decades
The first few minutes in the interview I knew this was going to be the best interview of the war I've ever seen thanks for your service man I know us Americans don't have no business over there really but I tip my hat to you sir sometimes a man feels a calling
Probably the best/open account of the experience over there from a vet volunteer , may your comrades rest in peace. Thank you Justin for sharing
the hurt u can hear in his voice only amplifies the brutal reality that is war
yeah poor kids voice sounds so shakey the whole video
Far out fellas, this was an incredible interview. Thank you to you both for your honesty and bravery.
Justin, I am truly blown away at your capacity to reflect on your decisions and what you witnessed. I don't know you at all, but I can see your resilience.
Please keep working on that book of yours mate, it can only bring good to the world and yourself.
And Matt, what can I say mate. You hit it out of the park as usual. You're a rare kind.
Peace lads!
Is it possible to have a social link of Austin? When he'll publish his book I'd be happy to buy a copy. Very very real interview, this is what journalism should look like.
Without doubt the finest first hand account of war I've ever heard. Willy you have a brilliant ability to let Justin speak for himself and what a harrowing story he has told. This should be heard far and wide.
Thumbs up..but the bucha massacre??one can't be so sure as enemy wldnt kill its very people it wants to rescue...Russian speaking..no one can never know really..with some native affliated guys in Ukraine army,anything cld have happened
Damn this is the most gripping story I’ve heard from the war. I sincerely hope sharing this story helps this guy find some peace.
I respect your sacrifice!! But I didn't believe about the Azov unit. Now, knowing Putin wasn't lying about that unit. You confirmed it.
So what? The Azov mentality means that Ukraine will never turn to Muhammed, which is where Western European countries such as France and Britain are heading.
@Good Good bro, it shows that they believe in the Nazi ways. So Putin was not lying about this unit and what they believe in.
@@goodgood9955 good luck with that
@@goodgood9955lmao well whatever ukraines has turned to it clearly isn’t working
@@americancommunist7633 what are you talking about? It was and is working really well. No SHARIA in Ukraine. No thousands of Muslims praying in the streets as has happened in Moscow recently.
Am I an asshole? Kid didn't really seem to have a reason to go to Ukraine and had it essentially made in the US from his parents. Also his objective went from "kill" to "survive"? Must be nice. Also, how did he get out of the army? Doesn't sound like he finished his contract.
This boy should have just stayed home. The Ukrainians are fighting for their existence as a people. He clearly had his own internal battles to deal with even before he went.
Excellent interview Willy. You gave him a lot of space to express himself, well done. Not likely to be forgotten, I think its value will be realised in time.
If you read this Justin, just know that beauty and love can still be found. I hope you can find peace, and come to grips with what you did and didn't do. Find purpose in the life that you have been given to live. Honor those comrades that you fought with, don't waste the time you have. My heart aches for you and those like you that have to see the horrors of war. Much love Justin, find peace.
This is an incredible interview. I hope this young man can find some kind of peace.
Zelensky will continue posting pictures of cute girls in military uniform or injured kids to lure naive people like this to the war-front, same old Western propaganda, they did it in Syria and Libya.. they did it in Uganda too, especially the whole rape and torture narrative, i dont understand how people keep falling for it
His voice is telling. Young lad was in the shit
What an incredible story that we are so fortunate to hear. I'm so glad that you both took the opportunity to be able to get this out. Your content is bar none.
Thank you for sharing all this. It sucks we're on different sides and fighting each other like that. Let's hope it ends soon

People might not want to see this interview, but I really respect Justin's honesty here. It's clear he's has a good heart but is troubled by what he saw/experienced over there. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you can find peace.
It's quite sad. War is part of our reality. Not wanting to hear about it doesn't make it go away. Back in my teens I occasionally went on "gore hunts" as many edgy teens do but my reasons were a bit different. I didn't want to see it to brag, I wanted to see it to see what the world was like. The gruesome ways to die, either by accident or human violence. Dangerous animals can maul you while you're alive, machines can flay you to bits, warriors will torture and slaughter you like a pig. These things are real and it is important we recognize they are some people's daily life. I live in a very comfortable 1st world lifestyle, so these things are far away for me. I thought and think it important to see them, learn them, take them to heart.
@@ExceedProduction I very much agree. The "gore hunts" I did when I was younger were for very much the same reasons as you. Not to look at gore just for the sake of it, but to get a reality check outside of my bubble in the first world. For me the real change was when we read The Things They Carried and A Long Way Gone in school. Both those books opened my eyes a lot.
You the dude that pissed himself singing Erika?
Justin, if you are reading these comments I want you to know that no event in life is a coincidence. You have a gift as a storyteller. You went through the meat grinder and survived for a reason. Write your book. You will have a lot of support behind you.
"no event in life is a coincidence"
So the dead were just characters in the lead's story? Why do people say wild stuff like this? Life is random. War deaths are random. You don't need to invent fictional realities to help people. Stop saying baby babble like this.
@@GeekFurious i think u misunderstood him. he was just trying to cheer Justin up. Give him hope and a sense of direction for his life. if he had to suffer like that, at least try to make art to help showing others what its like. not like he could reverse the deaths of his comrades by not writing a book or something. i see your point, but i think u re just too harsh. its not about fictional realities. you dont seem to get the point of art.
All this young man going to fight russia thinking it an easy job it still amazes me.
He betrayed everyone who fought against the nazis by willingly joining their ranks. He deserves no pity.
@@djmateo7134 go away russian bot
I think this young man needed to get these stories off his chest. Clearly is still in shock and has no one to talk about this to. I hope he is okay. He deserves our admiration
Incredibly powerful interview especially for me being the same age 22. Emotion is healthy you have balls for showing it don’t think you’re alone your dad is wrong my friend. Plenty of fellow Americans want to listen to war even though most may know nothing of its reality.
This kid clearly does not have the mental wherewithal to be fighting in a Ukrainian existential conflict of this nature. He didn't belong anywhere near the frontlines. At best they should have given him some rear duty. War is hell and not everyone is cut out for it.
I thought Ukraine was accepting only veterans who've seen actual combat.
Agree.
Most Americans will never know the horrors of war. They live with blinders on. They blame others instead of taking responsibility for their actions. When i came home from Iraq after nearly 7 years fight over there and nothing had changed at home. Same ole shit, same ole people and they didnt give a shit if my Marines made it home alive. So long as their cable tv was on, the beer store was open, and their cellphone was charged, nothing else in the world mattered to them.
His dad probably wants him to get over it and knows the damage it causes and possibly begged him not to go. He felt compelled to go because he saw the injustice or war. Justin now needs to be able to share and receive the necessary support even if his father rightfully didn’t want his son to go risking his life in a foreign land even though he was fighting for the side of justice. These are the things about war that are often under discussed but affect people in drastic ways. As long as he gets real professional help for the trauma and doesn’t turn to alcohol and drugs for comfort of what he’s been through. He will have been a a part of changing the world for the better. He’s a great dude, with a good head on his shoulders and his humanity in tact. If I were his friend And family I would be incredibly proud and support him through it all!

As I listen to this and I find myself moving more to the Russian side
You should have never sided on ukrop naz side. If you are a decent person
@@okakokakiev787 here in America no one really knows alot about Ukraine and the media here is very pro Ukraine ,I had to investigate the situation to learn more about what is really going on
I don’t think your wrong doing so. People forget that 2014 Russian civilians were being killed in Ukraine which prompted nazism before that is when Russia invaded and protected the Russian people in Ukraine which there is a lot!
That tends to happen the more you learn about this conflict
Even this old Vietnam vet identifies with your experiences: the aimless search for life, the discovery of something worth living/dying for, the rejection by the family, the discovery that you've become a real man, the true understanding of the world few Americans know, the retrospect of wisdom that few attain in life. -Dr Clay Lifto (author: Only a Soldier Understands)
@don he should give talks in colleges and inform those kids...
Did you kill alot of Vietnamese?
@The Tree Keeper One is more than enough. Your brain can get messed up if you're not ready for it. The guilt comes later when you return home and wonder if you're a monster.
War makes you struggle to keep your humanity, life becomes cheap. Yea war is uncomfortable and horrible but on occasion it's absolutely necessary. I watched ISIS kill half a village through optics and to be honest, to this day I feel like we did good work with every member we killed. Sometimes war is the only alternative unfortunately, I agree that the war should stop but really, it isn't that simple is it?
Truth. Thank you for killing them. They needed to die.
Nothing good came out of the middle eastern war. Nothing
It is that simple when you don’t have nato telling you to never move forward with peace agreements

Most people need help after going through much less.
It still enrages me that so many people are put into such irreversibly damaging situations by social structures that breed the delusional sense of self-entitlement required to lie to the entire world of 7.7 billion people and the audacity that’s constructed to project all of those lies onto a chosen target(s). I don’t know if there has always been and will always be this sociopathic paradigm working like this to chew up people and spit them out, but it seems like we have technology that makes the lies that liars tell a lot easier to identify and makes the fight for truth seem inevitably to end in victory. But at the same time …. People seem to want to be lied to.
Thanks for this. I hope I was cathartic in some way, because there’s no way anyone who starts to listen to your story will be able to walk away from it without finishing it.
It sounds like you have at least one book published here.
For every soldier that kills 10 opponents there are on average 9 soldiers that die without killing anyone
I’m not questioning his experiences, I’m not. But it is clear that his memory can not reliably distinguish the time and place where he saw and experienced some of the things he describes. For example, he claimed he saw his first dead Russian on his way from Lviv to Kiev. The Russians were never in between those two cities. He needs professional medical help to begin to process and cope with his PTSD
To be fair, that is a broad range for an area. If he saw a dead russian just outside of lviv or kiev while he was on his way there, I can see how he mentally connected that to the trip.
I wouldnt put to much weight on him mixing up places bro, its actually a symptom of PTSD aka forgetfulness, memory issue etc I believe what he said but yeah agree the kid needs help asap
I just don't understand people who willing to fight and die for another country, i just cant wrap my head around it. either way I'm glad you made it home!
You can understand by trying to listen to his story if you know what I mean. I’m trying to be nice here but this kid ain’t too smart
Someone who's been in Death's Gray Land of combat can never be the same. Thanks Justin for telling it like it really is. Let's hope you can realize your dream of simply having a normal life from now on. Cheers!
Thank you Willy and Justin for presenting this very interesting and moving account of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Justins' unpacking of this experience was enlightening and exposed the damage one man and his minions can do to so many directly and indirectly for what? My message to Justin and anyone else experiencing PTSD from any situation is to remember you went in there solid and came out messed up somewhat but you will get solid again if you want it enough. The Glory is you survived Justin and I appreciate your empathic nature. Solidarity Dude!
А что на счет того что Азов убивал людей 8 лет мирных людей кто просто был не согласен с ними это для тебя прекрасно ?
Hold on, he said the first body he saw was in Ukraine and it really disturbed him, then not long after he talks of having served in combat and picking AKs off of dead bodies.
Why was he so shocked by the body he saw in Ukraine? Once you see a few people ripped apart by combat, it’s not such a shock anymore.
This guy seems honest but this doesn’t really add up for me? Plus he looks very young, there haven’t really been combat operations in the Middle East since 2014, unless you’re special forces.
This just doesn’t add up..?
He said that it was the first body he has seen *in this war*. It's true he seems pretty young so maybe he lied about his previous military experience but idk. Maybe he so shocked because he didn't expect it to be a body getting eaten?
Idk if English is your first language. It came across to me as he was trying to relate to Willy with that statement. More like a "ya know what I mean??"
@@vitas5333English is my first language and it doesn't make sense to me either. I think he did his 4 years and got out most likely with very little deployment. I know one of my friends went to the middle east very early on and he said the first thing he did when he got there, was to pick up body parts of people who got hit with an ied. He wasn't even a grunt he was in intelligence, he was wayyy off the front lines sheltered. So idk if this kid was picking up aks off "guys wearing sandals".
damn what a coencidence, i was in tg group with this guy and he was telling us about that ambush near hospital when btr run on them, he had anime picture on his helmet. he disappeared from group some time ago, glad he is alive.
A German serving in the Azof battalion, now I see why the Russians are doing what they’re doing
You got that right !
lol you haven’t heard of rusisch? ten times worse.
Incredible! This man think war is a joke. Thinking to go there and have comfort. Incredible!
went to war, knowing nothing about this conflict, superintelligence
I'm sure he realizes that now. That's the point of propaganda.
Let this be a warning: War tourism isn't a smart idea. This dude went to a near-peer conflict, after having zero experience in combat, and expected a John Wayne movie. All while thinking he's qualified simply because he served (an obviously abbreviated contract, since he got out at the age of 19). The way he described seeing his first dead body, was a common occurrence when I was in Iraq 15-16 years ago. At that moment, I knew how the narrative would go throughout the rest of the video, and I was right. He was woefully unprepared for what he was involved in.
What did idiots like this expect? Too many Gen Zs think war is a fucking game. This guy was an inexperienced child that relied on his American citizenship to get into the fight, then got involved with a unit (AZOV) that has been fighting since 2014. Then, (unsurprisingly) he was surprised at the absurdity, brutality, and horror of war. His perspective should be taken with a MASSIVE grain of salt, because he was a tourist that couldn't handle what he signed up for, as you can tell from the very beginning when he witnessed death for the first time. I know first hand ACTUAL pipe hitters that are STILL fighting there in the foreign legion. He's just another one that got (appropriately) weeded out, and now has a horror story to sell... I mean *tell.
I don't think that he wants to tell his story out of any sense of cashing in on it. He really wants to try to speak of and FOR his fallen comrades. He has shell shock. He may never recover from what he has experienced.
@@hamburgerjones695 Agreed. He had no business there. By the time I arrived in combat, I was prepared to deal with it by the extensive training I had received. Even then, the brutality was shocking at times. This guy was thinking he was going to save Ukraine by volunteering with no experience. By his own admission, he spent MAYBE a year or so in the military before being discharged for whatever reason. Not nearly long enough to be in the position he put himself in. He saw one dead body and wanted to go home? GTFO.
@@fmrscout33 AMEN. I want to know why the f he was discharged because I was disgusted he even claimed service after being in for only one year. What the f did he think he was going to see there? He is lost, babyish, immature, and empty and does not see in himself that he talked about things that he was using to try and fill holes in his life that HE CREATED. I was also DISGUSTED by Justin's lack of empathy for his parents. It is appaling he was such a child and so immature that a) he did not tell his parents or leave a note where he was going, b) did not see the resources wasted finding him when he was already out of country...federal and state resources... c) did not express any understanding of the wrong he did by not telling his parents where he was going like a MAN WOULD. If this is Gen Z, I want to avoid them entirely. This is rediculous. My parents would never have bailed me out and set me up with a job (what kinda parent finds a job for their damn ADULT 21-year old kid) and apartment like his did? Parents, STOP ENABLING KIDS TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAILURES AND BAD CHOICES OR THEY'LL END UP LIKE THIS IDIOT.
Where did you serve if you don’t mind me asking?
You people are the reason no one talks about there trauma
Some film company could pick this story up and make a superb anti war film from this guy's book, A story that's real and would rival 'All Quiet on the Western Front'.
There is a thousand stories just like his. Mine is nearly exactly the same. Former us vet. Went to ukraine. NEVER GOING BACK it was absolute HELL ON EARTH I'll never be the same again. Don't do it. Don't go. Promise me you guys live your lifes! I'm alive but dead. I can't function.
Wow! I'm speechless. I watched this entire interview and I have to say this is one of the most intense video's I have ever seen in my life. I was captivated from start to finish. A true account of what war really is. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Just wow. Thank you Justin for sharing. I can't believe you made it out alive after hearing your story. Just wow. I don't know what else to say except that I will never look at the war in Ukraine the same again after watching this. This video has humbled me. Amazing account. Thank you for sharing. Literally every person in the world needs to see this.
War paints everyone with the same brush . Everyone is different and react different to it, but we all deal with the same thing .
Justin, maybe your greatest contribution is to carry on to the next generation the realities of war. I am old enough to have had family and friends of the family that lived through wars like Vietnam and WWII. Your story aligns so closely with what I heard from the few that would offer their story, or at least a piece of their story. Though I can't tell you why I keep so much interest in what is happening, I could tell you reasons why I care but in reality the reasons are much deeper than those surface expiations. I care because of all the influences in my life have made me who I am. Your story can be a part of the whole of who members of the future generations are. It may not be the reason you went but it may be what you accomplished beyond the battlefield that will be what made that experience important. History has shown us that stopping this from happing again is not a realistic goal. That doesn't make it meaningless to get your message out there as people hear it and it and it become part of who the listeners or readers are. You may not be able to stop wars like this but you can be an influence on the next generation and flavor their opinions and that is extremely important in democratic societies. I wish you the best Justin!
This kid is so naive. Wow.
Said by you, who never went to war, never carried a wounded friend or shot another person. You’re a coward.
A very sobering recount of one's experiences with one of humanity's most devastating modern conflicts. All coming from someone who is my age, and who could easily pass for a friend, colleague, coworker. Some kid whose ambitions and interests may even align with my own, yet experiences differed greatly. It's a true privilege to be grounded by his story.
That's just one place not that it's not ugly but there's also Myanmar and other places and they are ugly all the same. War is horrifying where ever it is. He clearly never have seen what horrifying deeds happened in WW2 (like in Nanging). That's why people don't like war, it bring out the worst of human. For this young lad to experience be experiencing it when he just grew up it is too much. He clearly have mental issue, hope he got it fixed by now. Or made peace with it. His dad knew what could've happened so he said those things imo.
The white phosphorus experience must have been so terrifying. Thank you for sharing your stories, hopefully you can find peace in yourself. I never supported Ukraine since 2014 but I understand your reasoning and I'm sorry you went through what you have. Peace and ceasefire is the most important thing for Slavic people on both sides of the Dnieper

The AZOV battalion should have been disbanded and outlawed never to be held up as heroes.
i think they'd accept that if RuZZia were to get the fuck out of Ukraine
Absolutely amazing work thank you so much for reporting the truth of what’s happening
It's true when they say "we can smell our own kind". As a Post 9-11 OEF/OIF combat veteran (combat medic) diagnosed with severe PTSD (and other sh!t) THIS cat has been through some pretty intense stuff. I'm sitting here watching him and thinking to myself - that was ME when I was newly returned from a war zone and had finally drank my fill of the Army. I was a friggin WRECK! Readjusting to a civilian, non-combatant role was, and in many ways still is, a challenge even these many years on. Stay away from Big Pharma and being overmedicated by some shrink who is pushing their poison. Pursue healing through art; be it visual art, like painting or sculpture, playing a musical instrument, or theatre. Smoke plenty weed , alcohol should be avoided for a while AND FINALLY - find someone, another ACTUAL combat veteran - you'll "smell it on them" unlike those stolen valor swine or those who served but saw no combat talking themselves up.......okay Good Luck bro!, Welcome Home. Good episode/interview. 😊
And then you listen to Zelensky who says that everything is great and that they have almost no losses, as he says about 31k for 2 years of war.
Listened to your whole story, Justin. Good healing to you & your family. Thanks you for service and your testimony. Greetings from France.
What an awesome interview.
Finally getting to the final part of the video it really seems the guy is not all there, i dont know what moved you to think putting this interview out was a good idea. At 3:11:00 he implies Ukrainians were fighting in an occupied city and they probably killed civilians in the crossfire? Bro?? Ofcourse you’re fighting in an occupied city when you are trying to liberate it, but thats why you dont carpet bomb the fuck out of it but you go in and clear it physically to avioid civilians dying. What us this guy talking about? Also writing a book?? Whatt lol he fought for a couple of months got scared went back and is wring a book about it? Why are you giving him attention?
Because its real. Not some sanitized and edited account that has to get approved before getting published. This is a real person that actually went over there and fought and saw what happened, unlike you. Go watch main stream media if you just want an echo chamber that makes you feel good.
Valgear is worth a look he mostly does gear videos and has taken down his combat vid. He is Ukrainian fighting since 2014 with Right Sector ultra nationalists and now with some recon unit called Kraken. Comes across as a stone cold pro
Yes, the Ukrainians have killed civilians and commited warcrimes. No one is innocent in this war. Russia doesn't have a monopoly on warcrimes.
