From your perspective, as a Vet (if I understand correctly), you understand the decision of Joseph Hildebrand to volunteer in Ukraine. Sense of duty, honor, defending those that can't defend themselves, what have you.
From other perspectives, the decision to leave your young daughter and wife to fight in war on the other side of the world, completely by free choice, is a head scratcher.
I don't think questioning that decision based on a different perspective is disrespectful and I certainly don't see it intended that way.

I wonder if he is one of those guys that after serving in a war zone, just couldn't adjust back to normal life. It can have a way of really messing people up. I have read posts and blogs from other mercenaries and I get the sense that many of them live with so much anxiety and depression after coming back, that they just keep enlisting in order to keep it away from others.
It's almost like a long term suicide plan for some people. Similar to how when people kill themselves, others will talk to the "selfishness" of it, but without knowing what was happening in their heads, I don't think that is fair.
