A Canadian veteran, who was dubbed as one of the world's deadliest snipers, has returned home after two months of fighting in Ukraine . 'Sniper Wali' had answered Ukraine President Zelensky's call to foreign fighters to join the fight against the invading Russian forces. Wali, a veteran of the Afghan & Iraq wars, is back in Quebec after he nearly lost his life in Ukraine “several times”, as per local media reports.

The only thing that surprises me is that combat veterans are surprised there’s chaos and desperation in this war. I’m also a combat veteran, and that’s exactly what I expected.

[@tottorookokkoroo5318]

They havent fought in a proper war though. The conflicts they have fought in have always been super one sided in their favour. Their side has tanks, planes, bombs, etc while the enemy has some untrained poorly coordinated villagers with ak47s and makeshift bombs. Easy to be a "legendary" sniper when your opponents are like that.

Let's say the Canadian managed to come second last in their own backyard, in an environment that should have suited them.

A "serious" military? If anything, this war has shown Russia has a 3rd world level military. The Russian command structure is garbage and many of them refuse to fight. It's only been a few months and already more Russian soldiers have died than America soldiers over the past two decades of wars. So in 20 years of war the US has lost less people than Russia has in 4 months in Ukraine. That is a joke military. That is a military pretending to be a military... a paper tiger.

[@hxcvocalist]

​@@justanotherguy7984 Play war? I know Wali perso. He's not a frontline expert, he's a survivalist. With weapon, He's mostly good at long range. Here's what logically happened . Wali came to Ukraine while the Russians were advancing on Kyiv on almost 3 sides. He went there thinking they would suffer a siege. By the time Wali was making his way to Kyiv the expected siege didn't really happen and the fight got quiet around the Capital. Ukraine didn't have any way to provide foreign soldiers yet with equipment for a Push back. You can't expect a sniper to go attack mode on the frontline without Medium range or long range anti-tank weapons. He didn't run back home. He came back home knowing Ukraine cannot provide the help to be helped and his wife was pregnant. Thing is, people believe he was scared. No. He probably liked it and just had a existential crisis. He thought bigger. He knows he needs to be back here because this war will extend eventually. The western help will soon stop. Ukraine will probably be conquered partially or entirely. I heard Wali is back doing his survivalist training and taking care of his family. We'll need him when the enemies will land in North-America.

[@bobbuilder7952]

Agreed. Snipers of the WWII era hid in foliage for DAYS on end without moving a muscle in order to assassinate a high profile target. Wali and snipers today have the privilege of having air superiority and the enemies don’t typically have tanks (ie. terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan). Wali went to a real warzone where the odds are actually stacked against him for the first time... and he became a coward. Funny how even soldiers refuse to accept the inevitability of death until they come a little too close to it, and then chicken out. Goes to show, Wali and many of the foreign fighters didn’t go because they felt the plight of Ukraine, they wanted to play ‘solider’ and carry big ass guns... up until they realized they could die. An army is deadliest when they’re willing to die for a cause

What Wali experienced was called “shell shock” in the past and today it is better known as PTSD. It is a correct choice of Wali to have opted out as he will not know what his reaction is going to be under stress conditions in the future. Also such an event is the cause for many to overthink their decisions and to change them if they get the chance. This has though nothing to do with the mission itself and of being disappointed - even if he may say so. That is I rather interpret as an excuse to safe face and to maintain the bravado of being tough in his job. Also that this two guys lost their life’s because of a cigarette they needed smoking.

I suspect the International Legion was announced without too much forethought and planning. The UAF did well to limit volunteers to those with combat experience after the initial invite was to anyone who wanted to go, but it was always going to be difficult integrating the international volunteers, especially those used to NATO standards, supply lines etc. Also, I can only really think of the SCW as a war that attracted international volunteers in this way (though I have seen a monument at Vimy Ridge recording the names of a handful of IVs who died there in WW1), so I suspect the situation would be difficult for most militaries to handle. One can only hope that should the war drag on the use of IVs will improve.

However, we were well supplied with ammunition and food, but the trouble was we often had to carry it for ten days at a time wthout resupply.

I think in this case sending individual fighters just doesn't make sense. A country could send a unit of whatever size, if it could somehow be coordinated with the Ukrainian army, or they could be given a specific task which is clear. But how do you integrate foreigners who speak different languages, when you can't even supply them with equipment, weapons and food? The news report on the larger events, not on individual trenches.

@@MorningNapalm his friend was explaining that he wasn't using sniper as much as he wanted and used javelin. However, as per the media javelins destroyed all Russian tanks and this guy was telling that tank killed two of their team mates and they couldn't even hit back. Even if he had a sniper, maybe he also had it, you can't hit a tank with it

[@miketaylor5212]

using wali in that way was a misalocation of a valuable resource. in the U.S. military a snipers main job is scouting and then taking out high value targets. putting him in a trench to take shots at enemy soldiers was not the best use of a sniper. he was being used as a designated marksman in an entrenchment that the enemy knows is there. another bad idea. i will add that neither russian or Ukraine soldiers know how to police up their area or use camoflage. all either side has to do is spot the trash each side leaves laying around to know where to send the shells. it would seem to me that you would want your area to look as natural as you could make it, so your enemy would have to guess instead of dropping it on your trash pile.

Shadow said in the interview that Walli learned to use the nlaw in a few days and so they went on foot to use it.

A seasoned sniper conditioned for far range operations with his companion spotter is not cut for frontline trench warfare in Donbas. It is war.

The Taliban hid in caves like rats until the west got bored and left. Look at the casualties, clearly it was not a battle the west was losing. It just wasn't worth the effort. Had the west really wanted to destroy the Taliban those mountains would be a radioactive parking lot, but that's not a very humane thing to do and wasn't worth our time considering they are incapable of launching any real attack on the west. They just launch a terrorist attack and then crawl in that same hole again, letting their civilians suffer the repercussions like cowards.

It's surprising that a "veteran" fighter of Afghanistan was DISAPPOINTED with the war in Ukraine. Since when a soldier is allowed to feel DISAPPOINTED with war? I presume that Wali thought that he was embarking in a WAR SAFARI to kill Russians. It's different to kill goat herders wearing sandals and carrying AK-47s and facing a full army with artillery, tanks, rockets, helicopters, air force, all at the same time. Does anyone here play war games on Play Station?

[@plevalnatebya]

[@tonysu8860]

Thank you. Even the few comments provide valuable insight into one person's professional opinion. It should not be surprising that Ukraine's volunteer forces and in particular a brigade comprised of soldiers from diverse backgrounds would disagree on strategy and tactics, so that by itself is probably a mistake. It probably would have been better to put together platoons or smaller of fighters with identical or near identical backgrounds. And, there should be a clear chain of command, conscripts should be told to follow the commands of more experienced soldiers or find themselves designated as cannon fodder. As for protective equipment and weapons, I would recommend that every volunteer should be matched up to a supply officer before anything else can happen... Before any assignment, before joining any force. Best but probably not always possible to to be fully equipped and bring what is personally deemed necessary and don't rely on the Ukrainians to provide any essentials. So, for example Wali and Shadow should have been fully equipped from a Western org before arriving in Ukraine (or anywhere else) and maybe even remain in contact after arriving in Ukraine. Ukraine's forces may be largely ad hoc and lack "middle management" but that's to be expected. I'm sure Ukraine was preparing for, but cannot fully be expected to field a fully professional fighting force comparable to most Western nations.

Well put. There is a vast difference between not expecting much and being supplied with zero weaponry and even rudimentary clothing.

[@sogsog111]

They were simply expecting the impossible. Before engaging they should have understood the ground circumstance and not to expect too much. On the other hand the Ukraine side should have been better prepared to provide necessary logistics & communications with the fighters otherwise better not to welcome them.
