Was my honor to serve with Brad "Top" Crawford in the International Legion in 2022. Amazing that he's still over there doing God's work training Ukrainian soldiers after 4 years of war. Looking forward to learning from Top how to shoot down drones with regular old shotguns. It's a critical skill for Ukrainian soldiers but might be useful for all of us everywhere someday...
