    I was thinking on the same lines.

    It's just a numbers game.

      What does his commanding officer do just roll his eyes in point at things?

      Due to his inability to understand the language and his complete lack of any military experience, I have to assume he's more of a liability than an asset.

        where does it say he complains about language and won't learn it? he's been there for like a few months, learning a language takes time (especially if you're dumb as this guy)

        Huffman has no prior military experience, DeAnna said, adding that his limited training was conducted in Russian. She suggested the language barrier has made her husband particularly unprepared for the horrors of combat.

        Ok, he didn't, his wife did. This was an important part of the article for me, the oh gosh training for Russian military is in Russian.

                  dude if someone wrote this for a movie people would say it's too on the nose.

                  moving to another country to avoid "indoctrination" is exactly what a movie character would do as a metaphor for inner struggle.

                  being sent to die for a fascistic country would be the metaphor for the idea that running away from your self by finding refuge in reactionary attitudes inevitably kills you inside.

                          Well Americans would probably do best to learn Spanish. The problem is it's not so clear-cut in the UK, in theory we should learn French, except the French don't appreciate it and speak English anyway. The Spanish and Germans also speak English so again there doesn't seem to be an obvious language to learn.

                          If you're going to learn a language that want to give you the maximum ability to communicate with new people it'd probably be Japanese but realistically no one in the UK is going to learn Japanese.

                            yeah and even if we were trying our hardest for 3 months to learn Russian, our wives would probably still say the same thing right

                              He would expect people to learn English before arriving in the US so the inverse should also be true. And yeah learning Russian is hard, but that's his problem. It's not like he had to leave in an emergency, the threat that he was experiencing is entirely fictional.

                              nowhere in the article does it say that he expects immigrants to America to learn English before coming. why are you lying???

                              ( is that even a thing chuds commonly believe?? learning is what matters, poor English is applauded above no English. source, been there )

                              this article is ridiculous and outlandish enough, why are you all fabricating details?

                                I did start learning a bit of Russian once as I was dreaming of riding the Transsiberian Railway once in my life. Russian is quite different from what I speak (German, English). I just wanted to be able to read signs and say things on a "I thirsty where bar? Beer! " level.

                                Btw. regarding that dream - I gave it up forever. I'll probably go for a summer beach party, when crimea is Ukrainian again. Even if they have to roll me along the beach in a wheelchair when I'm really old.

                                    I hear that! you'll have an easier time with any Slavic language if you start with Russian though. I don't think I've met a slavic speaker without at least a passing understanding of Russian. now, culturally, you might get some hate... lol

                                    Ukrainians almost all seem to understand Russian from what i can tell... they're pretty close! maybe on second thought, ditch Russian and use Ukrainian as the lingua franca lol. I wonder how far we'd get in, like, Slovenia with that

                                      I guess he wanted to remain in a dictatorship, seems a sort of odd destination to me, pretty much guaranteed to be miserable even if he wasn't dumped into a combat, he could have gone to Cuba or something.

                                      Cuba is a dictatorship of the working class, LGBT rights are enshrined in the constitution, the exact opposite of what any fascist who would fight for Russia (or Ukraine) wants.

                                        That's not an American specialty. Our German right wing shitheads are migrating to South American countries for example without speaking a word Spanish and without even wanting to integrate there because of all the not well integrated migrants here. Nazis in all their forms tend to be not the smartest tools in the shed.

                                          Call yourself an "expat" and apparently you never have to integrate.

                                          Back in the eighties my parents (British) bought a villa in Spain, all on it's own on a mountainside. Over the following ten years fifty - yes, fifty - other villas were built, all independently, all by Brits, all on top of each other, most without planning permission. A group of busybodies formed a HOA-style association and took over the area, building an English Shoppe with a red phone box outside where you could buy the Daily Mail and Tetley Tea, an English pub, replacing the road signs with English ones, even an English radio station. The last time we visited and decided to sell, we arrived to find they'd illegally installed a gate across the road - the PUBLIC road - and were only giving the remotes to certain worthy residents, which apparently we weren't.

                                          But it's okay. Because they weren't dirty migrants forcing their culture on others and refusing the integrate; they were expats just looking for a little bit of sun.
