    1. My fellow Democrats, when did we become a warmongering party? Anyone? When I was in the 10th mountain all Democrats were against war!

    2. @J. Kasprzycki Your arguments look like a stolen dress of Truth by Lie. Siberia…Gulag… What you remember about which part of Siberia??? 🤔😉 Your comment for people no education. Nothing else. I am sure…you even don’t know where is Siberia exactly . Your memory from “Doctor Zhivago” Hollywood movie. Remember Gulag? Which one ? And forgot russian language? And now coming time to fresh your memory. By your comment I understood better who you are and nature of your pathology russophob. No reason for me continue any conversation with kind of blood – hate. Learn true history and you will be know what waiting for…
      Ciao pan J.Kasprzycki. I have good memory but I am lucky enough to forget people like you.

  1. Look how much the Ukrainians respect and care for those who help them fight the good fight. You honestly don’t see that coming from other countries. Almost like they were Americans returning an American home. Even giving him white clothe and preserving his personal items and going through the trouble of bringing him home. Other countries wouldn’t bother with a foreign fighter that is even helping them. That is why I have so much respect for Ukrainians. They are good people. God bless these people.

    1. @Goose~N~Gander Ukraine showing the mangled bodies is not a secret. It was announced in the open for the media to see. The intention is to demoralize the Russians by showing them the casualties of war. The more you show, the more you can counter the Russian MoD’s underestimates of casualties. You can call it detestable, but a big component of war is psychological, breaking the opponent’s will to fight. An unpopular war will hasten the Russian retreat.

    2. @GhostPirate LeChuck Foreign volunteers in Mariupol? That’s nonsense. So far only five American foreign volunteers died in the Ukraine war. Mariupol was surrounded too early in the war for foreign volunteers to reach that city.

    3. @Lambert Lum Thank you for acknowledging I was correct. Some other people seemed to be have selective vision. Yes I know what the intent was.

    4. @Lambert Lum Incorrect. The foreign forces were tasked with holding and protecting ukr forces’ retreat. Aiden Aslin’s communications make this clear. When they were trapped, they even tried to dress as civilians and women to escape (a blatant war crime).
      Foreign volunteers are always put on the vanguard and tasked with covering tactical withdrawals of ukr forces from the frontline.
      Not hard to find, perform a little research.

    5. @Lambert Lum Where do you get the KIA American number as 5? Ukr hasn’t released any casualty counts. Closest thing to transparency was Zelensk saying they were losing 200 a day, but the official losses are zero.

    2. @NHA What about the French Soldiers who came to help America become independent from Britain? Something called the United States of America came out of that

  2. My condolences and respect to Joshua’s mother. I can only imagine what his family is going through and his mom. My respect and thanks also to the Ukranian lawmaker who works tirelessly to get the bodies of these great souls to their families and the reporter of this story. They expose themselves a lot to the danger out there to get these bodies back. It is so sad and heart breaking. God bless Josh and all these great souls who die for freedom. This war and invasion must stop somehow.

    1. @J. Kasprzycki if wasn’t killing people for money, then he was a collaborant.
      COLLABORANTS SHOULD RETURN HOME IN BODY BAGS!

    2. @Djamonja What you agree with is quite irrelevant. It is what it is.

      How many TIMES do I have to mention the 80 year old granny sleeping in her bed and the 8 year old little girl playing in the play park before you understand?

      They were NOT separatists, they were just innocent UKRANIAN civilians going about their ordinary lives.,

      But the government rockets, mortars and shells hit their towns, villages and cities anyway. They died at the hands of their own government. 14 000 of them. I am sure it’s many many more by now.

      So if you are a responsible government and not a bunch of genocidal maniacs you deal with your separatist problem through the use of police officers, investigation and SWAT teams not with howitzers, tanks and rockets that destroy cities and kill innocents.

      And thus even if, by some miracle Ukraine manages to win this war and reclaim it’s lost territory it will never again rule the Donbas. Not because of the deaths of 10 000 separatists but because of that granny and that little girl.

      There will be no victory for Ukraine here. And they did it to themselves through their own callous disregard for innocent lives.

    3. @norman berg You did not address any of the points I raised.
      Instead you went into a rant full of emotionalism but empty of content.
      You think people don’t notice?
      What is worse is that you invoke God in your support of Putin’s blood soaked fascist imperialist war of aggression. By doing so, not only have you earned yourself your share of the blood guilt for all the people who have died since this invasion began, you have also committed blasphemy.
      Shame on Russia the invader, the aggressor and shame on his fascist imperialist supporters like you.

  3. Deepest respect for Josh and sympathies for his family. I measure people on their actions. He fought not for himself or fellow Americans but for people oppressed many miles from his home, he could have stayed at home but chose not to. This is a man who acted on his convictions and paid the ultimate price, sadly he was someone’s son, family member and friend to many I am sure. A moment in time that shows the best of humanity but also the worst. The world has lost what it needs the most, a sad day indeed.

    1. @Tanusha No he was not interested in money, he fought and died fighting for Ukraine who is fighting for their Country

  4. My father served in the Korean war and it changed him forever, I remember him telling me once that on any given day there was someone somewhere in the world killing and dying for a war whether they wanted to or not. And on that same day there was also someone else living a happy quite life on a beach with loved ones that has no idea that the war others are dying and killing for is even going on. There are times we need to raise to that call and I believe Ukraine is one but I decided unless I absolutely have to I would rather be the guy on the beach. My condolences to all the lives lost in this senseless war and the many that will soon come.

    1. As long as most still believe in this ‘civilisation project’, you will always have to get off that beach and pick up a weapon. because it’s the ideas of control and law that leads to all this perversion of the human spirit. Psychopathy is on a rapid increase.

    2. @Dirk Get with the real world, you’re just a punk kid, wait till you get older you’ll see how peachy it is fool 👹

    3. My dad also fought in the Korean war we’ve never talked about anything about it but he started when he was 16 I saw pictures that he had locked up and I opened it up cuz I was little it was not good I feel for you and I feel for my dad he’s still alive

  5. I want to say to people of Russia are returning this man’s body home. I have eight years on this young man, Joshua. I was born with a genetic disease and I can tell you right now I would have gladly traded my Life for his. Not just an American hero. Not just a Ukrainian hero. A hero of all humanity. Rest in peace Joshua.

  6. Rest in peace, hero ! Condolences to his family and friends! No way to express how thankfull we Ukrainians are to the incredible people that fight to save Ukraine in this unfair battle. Glory to heroes!

    1. @Bruce Lee…if he was fighting for the Russians, who are responsible for starting this criminal action against a neighbor, I would have called him a terrorist. However, he volunteered to leave his home and family to defend a peaceful people who didn’t ask for this. As he went there,with no skin in the game, to defend an unjustly attacked nation. That makes him a HERO,and a better person than most.

    2. @crookim What a jackass you are. You don’t have a CLUE what this war is about. Ignorance always shows in a person’s post. You just showed the whole world how ignorant you are. I’d be embarrassed by my stupidity. Now the free world laugh’s at you.🤣🤣🤣🤣

    3. @Write of Passage Legion are hero’s?? Laughable 🤣🤣 No one will bow to anything or anyone tied to Russia. Haven’t you heard?? Russia sucks. She talks a good game but lacks the a$$ to back it up. Ukraine is handing Russia her a$$ Back on a big, beautiful, shiny Ukrainian platter. Stop watching RTV and you will see over 90,000 Russians dead on Ukranian soil. Yes Ukraine has heavy losses as well, but that’s the price of FREEDOM. Ukraine is willing to pay that price, and I’m willing to fund it if it means Russia falls to the feet of the World. And she Will. Then you will bow to Ukraine. I CAN’T WAIT. Already have my popcorn in the microwave. It’s coming and soon……..😁😁😁😁

  7. I always hated it when people called me “joshie” but not after this video. Rest in peace brother I’ll be praying for your family.

  8. thank you for your service Josh and God bless the family you left behind. thank you to everyone who made the return happen, heroes deserve dignity even in death. thank you Clarissa as usual for your courageous reporting – may you stay safe out there

  9. Respect! 💪
    Not everyone has the conviction to legitimately fight and battle for a cause they believe in. Your efforts boosted morale and those still in the trenches will see you as a Martyr who traveled the ocean to fight for their cause. Sadly there is more blood to be shed and may your Ukrainian brothers have steady aim and breathing as they destroy the Orc invaders.
    May God hold you close as you enter the pearly gates and are welcomed as a defender who answered the call of others who were in their time of need. 🙏

  10. Martyrs never die. Condolences to the family and for fighting the freedom of Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

  11. Rest In Peace, Sir. Thank you for giving your life to protect those in need. Seeing the Ukrainians carry him back across no man’s land brought tears to my eyes. Their wear their hearts on their sleeves.

    1. @RickySanchez77 I’m talking about the Jew who’s country was only known for neo-nazi militias and rampant corruption before the us needed another proxy war to sedate their “defence” contractors. I guess noticing both sides are evil is going again the billions into propaganda the us spends so they bomb weddings and humanitarian aid workers and still fool the demoralized masses like you. Lol

    2. @Skee Mcgee as a combat veteran their is a saying “when a fool speaks nonsense is a fool himself” congratulations Lmfao

    3. @RickySanchez77 how many of the 400,000 civilians in the Middle East did you kill? Oops sorry Obama wrote all those women and children bombed as “enemy combatants” good thing we locked up that whistle bower Assange, other wise people would get to see all the HD footage that would show you butchering all those “hearts and minds” lol thank you for your severance!

    4. @RickySanchez77 the golem only has insults to throw one you show what kind of abhorrent atrocities he was apart of, slowly I began to hate them.

  12. What a brave soul. Gave his all for another country fighting for their freedom. I hope his mother finds peace. Her tears brought me to tears, I’m not gonna lie.

  13. Rest in peace my fellow Tennessee volunteer native and thank you Ukraine for helping his family get the body back.
    A brave God fearing hero from the Volunteer state Tennessee:
    most accounts, Tennessee first earned its nickname as the volunteer state during the War of 1812 due to the large numbers of Tennesseans who volunteered to serve in battle against Great Britain. Although the men never faced battle, General Andrew Jackson brought the soldiers home at his own expense. Later, Jackson led 2000 Tennessee volunteer soldiers in a successful battle against the British in 1815 at the Battle of New Orleans. Following such success, as many as 30,000 Tennesseans again volunteered in the Mexican War.

    Davy Crockett is one of one of the most famous volunteers from the volunteer state. Known as the “King of the Wild Frontier,” Crockett was a politician and a soldier. He first enlisted as a rifleman in 1813. Later, Crockett entered politics. In the first quarter of the 19th century, he served two terms in the United States House of Representatives. Another famous resident from the volunteer state is Alvin York, who was influential in World War I. York was responsible for capturing and killing many enemy troops.

    Tennesseans continued to be avid volunteers in World War II, both at war and on the home front in nearby Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the Manhattan Project produced the first atomic bomb. One of the earliest known references of the volunteer nickname is by Jacob Hartsell, a captain in the 2nd East Tennessee militia. He wrote a poem, The Brave Volunteer, based on his experience alongside fellow Tennesseans in battle.

    1. Tennessee natives still volunteering for war just like we did in the past that’s how we got the nickname Volunteer State.

      Also the American Football college football team Vols are killing it lol random I know but that Tennessee Alabama game was so fun and exciting to watch &I haven’t watched the game that good and forever

  14. Rest In Peace Josh! There are few people in this world who stand up for what is right, you have just made that list of those heroes!

  15. Deepest condolences to family and friends of the Hero. Amazing young man who came to Ukraine to fight evil forces that occupied Ukrainian land.
    Joshua would never been forgotten!
