If you need help; reach out, and if you're doing well; reach out to people who may not be. To my fellow veterans out there, we need to do a better job at taking care of eachother. I lost a good friend, and the world lost an incredible human. The world is poorer and darker for it.

Heartbroken to share that my dear friend Paul Conroy (@reflextv) has passed away from a heart attack. He faced his final moments with courage and dignity. A selfless and fearless soul — you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Paul.

Lost in the news cycle but Evan Wright, author of Generation Kill, died by suicide on Friday. He was only 59. What a terrible loss.

🇺🇦 Fighters of Kayfariki Group (seen in our documentary ‘Frontline Hooligan’) were recently wounded during a 15 hour battle with ambushing Russian forces. They all survived and fought their way out. @ConallKearney was with them on the ground to document it all.
An article from November last year, @BDMurray and I explored the proliferation of drones on the modern battlefield in Ukraine.

A drone lab with 3D printing capabilities about 8 kilometers from the contact line, fabricating a swarm of FPV suicide drones with anti-Tank capabilities. We live in an age where a $300 drone can become a guided munition that can take out a multimillion dollar tank.
It's been two years, does anyone have a follow up on the status and name of the Hawk? I'm pretty invested.
Today Squad 1 encountered a hawk on the sidewalk that looked injured. Injuries were likely sustained battling some crows who were defending their eggs from it. In any case, the bird got a lift up the hill to @PortlandAudubon where it will receive treatment.
Volunteer bomb techs in Ukraine are testing remote spring loaded devices to quickly and safely disable anti-Tank mines from a distance.
We spent the day with @Swampy_EOD_Ukr sharing thoughts and observations, and testing out different remote methods. Things change fast in Ukraine and we are thankful for the friendships we have here that allow for this kind of collaboration.
Check out my pictures & @guillaume_ptak's article on @The_DailyBeast about the older men of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighting against Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine.
