His mistake for going there.

[@nigel3309]

I'd say he's an ex SAS commando working for Ukraine special ops , he just got caught , unlucky but i guess it does happen especailly if your tank breaks down on the front line.

[@gregorythompson5826]

SAS Commando? I say you don't know what you are talking about.

[@vkrgfan]

War tourism might backfire, this isn’t a video game.

[@tavuzzipust7887]

So what was he doing there, playing soldier on the front line? He got what he wanted.

[@Mr_Squiggle]

Russian, only your bot friends like your comment, that's how we know.

Suddenly, a mercenary is transformed to a 'prisoner of war'! Is English not the first language of an average Australian, that an Australian Journalist cannot tell the difference between the two?
