Episode: How Did a 60-Year Old American Veteran Wind Up Fighting in Ukraine?
Description: Malcolm Nance was retired from the U.S. Navy, but the Russian invasion of its neighbor compelled him to dig out his old weapons and equipment, and join up with the International Legion fighting in Ukraine. He explains how the International Legion functions, what it’s like to take a direct hit from a Russian shell, and why he doesn’t believe he and his fellow legionnaires have run afoul of an 18th century law against Americans fighting in other people’s wars.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19...
