Pete reed the medic. Died in Ukraine doing what he loved about two months ago in feb 2023. After a shell hit the ambulance he was in. He married a girl he met in Iraq 5 days before the war started. A hero to many

[@user-iy4ss8kh7h]

So sad to know that he is no more. He died a hero and God will take him to be by his side.

[@pulse3732]

it wasn't a shell, it was a guided missile, and he was marked as a medic. They aimed and fired at non-combatant medical personel, a warcrime.

The ISIS interpretation of the Koran is actually quite plausible.
