American Veterans Volunteering for Ukraine, Why?
The number of volunteers in Ukraine from around the world number at over 20,000. Ukrainian President Zelensky has asked for volunteers since the Russian Invasion started back in late February of this year. There have been a number of American veterans who have answered the call to volunteer for war in the Ukraine. One volunteer acquainted with your host, Mike Kim, has the heart of gold and has just left his daughter and his wife. This young man is a decorated Iraq War Veteran. Did he join because of a tribal urge to protect others? Did he join because of a desire to be a part of a group again? These are intriguing questions. But a major concern on Mike's mind as a seasoned war trauma therapist and an Iraq War Veteran is that the Veteran he knows, who volunteered for Ukraine, has placed his war readjustment on hold to return to a war zone. What does that mean to his family? What is going to be his readjustment when he returns to his home, if he survives the devastating war in Ukraine?
The media keeps on treating this war in Ukraine like a sporting event. We can choose how to absorb it. Mike has had many sleepless nights thinking about U.S. troops being sent to Ukraine. and wonders if Ukraine will be in another Forever War. Even though Mike does not not condone the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, we have to ponder if using diplomacy might be better than joining another War.
