My son (Army) WAS.. in Ukraine.. they got him out 4 hours before the attack... I was pretty upset about it... anyhow, while there he made good friends talking to local beekeepers near Lviv, so he could tell me all about it... They got him to Germany, and are now flying ukranians to him for the training... his contract is up in August.. I can't wait to get him back here.... Time for him to retire soon as well... He enlisted at the end of his Junior year.. 2003, came back to take his senior year in high school and went back in when that ended. Did a tour in Afghanistan etc... etc... and has been instructing as a Combat Medic back here in the states, and signed up for the Ukraine contract in August of last year. He said then that the place reminded him of HOME, farms and NICE people, unlike a lot of big city environments, so he was enjoying himself there.... A lot of his team made friends, and they are seriously unhappy right now.
