Shannon Vavra – The Daily Beast July 1, 2023
In the days preceding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, David Bramlette found himself in a classroom in Washington, D.C. discussing whether Russia might invade Ukraine. He was in the middle of earning a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins in international affairs. At the time, he admits, he found the prospect of a Russian invasion implausible.
But when Russia eventually pulled the trigger and invaded Ukraine in February last year, David, who had previously completed stints working for the U.S. military as a Green Beret on a counter-Russia mission and as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan, felt compelled to go fight the Russians.
“It’s good and evil in my mind,” Bramlette told The Daily Beast in an interview from Kyiv this week.
“I’m sitting in class, and I’m like, I could sit here and finish my degree and go work in some office job, and have a tiny iota of impact on the world working in some government office, right?” Bramlette recounted. “I have the knowledge and the skills and abilities to go help. So I basically took a leave of absence from my master’s program and went over.”
By early March Bramlette, who goes by “Bam,” was en route to Warsaw, Poland to get his bearings before joining the foreign legion in Ukraine. While boarding the plane to Poland, Bam said he sent his parents a quick email explaining why he was going to war for another country.
“I sent my parents an email that says like… This is the most righteous war that I think my generation will see in our lifetime. This is straight up good versus evil,” Bramlette told The Daily Beast. “That’s why I went. I was like, I can’t put up with this shit.”
Like Bramlette, former Marine Troy Offenbecker was compelled to join the fight against Russia’s invasion early on in the war. He told The Daily Beast that Russian atrocities against Ukrainians reported in the news were part of the final straw that got him geared up to go to war.
“There’s a lot of really dumb-ass volunteers over here who have no business being in a war.”
“Last March I’d seen everything that was happening, and when I heard about the international legion, I knew I was going to come,” Offenbecker told The Daily Beast in an interview from Kyiv. “But at the time I had some obligations that were holding me there. It took me two months… I had to sell my house, I sold my vehicles.”
Offenbecker spent time preparing, conditioning, and getting in better physical shape to fight.
When he saw images of mass graves and Ukrainian civilians murdered execution-style in Bucha, Offenbecker was livid.
“It really made me furious that you could do that to someone so innocent,” he said. “It really pissed me off.”
“I have a skillset that I learned, I had six years in the Marine Corps, I was instructing other Marines, I instructed other countries on how to fight. I just thought it wouldn’t be right if I sat at home,” Offenbecker said.
The urge to go for Bramlette was also personal.
“This is my third war I’ve fought in, and this is by far the worst one.”
In 2014, just two months before Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine, he arrived to work for the 1st battalion 10th Special Forces Group in Stuttgart, Germany. When Russia moved in, it was go time for him.
“When Crimea happened, all of our emphasis went to defending Eastern Europe, essentially. So my three years in Special Forces was basically doing… partner training all over Central and Eastern Europe and western Europe too,” Bam said. “But I never really felt like we were accomplishing very much.”
And while Bramlette has previously been on combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, there are a whole slew of service members or veterans throughout the world who prepared to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, and who, for whatever reason, didn’t get to. From the vets he has seen gearing up in Ukraine, many have felt the pull to fill that gap, Bam said.
“There’s nothing more frustrating than training and training, training for something your whole life, or for years on end, and then never actually getting to sort of test your mettle,” he said. “A lot of those guys, that was kind of the vibe.”
Offenbecker shared similar sentiments. “I’ve encountered some guys where maybe they were here for some sense of purpose, they’ve seen their buddies go through war and they never did,” he said.
Once in Ukraine, the wartime preparations in Lviv and Kyiv involved a little bit of luck and a little bit of chaos, Bramlette said.
First, Bramlette was caught off guard by how many people picked up and went to Ukraine to help fight without having any military experience.
“There’s a lot of really dumb-ass volunteers over here who have no business being in a war,” he said.
After arriving in Poland in early March of 2022, he took a train to Lviv to meet up with other volunteer fighters. But on the way, he found several other foreigners he didn’t want to fight side-by-side with, he said.
“I met three other foreigners on a train. One was a German, and he had no military experience. He was a carpenter or something like that,” Bramlette said. “He had shot a gun—like a little bit. And it was a hunting rifle.”
Once in Ukraine, Bramlette sized up some different groups of foreign volunteers, but found their military background similarly lacking. He was “equally unhappy with the quality of foreigners there,” he said.
A few days later, he hooked up with two other Green Berets to form a multi-national squad of about 12 people to form a small unit tactics team, or a special operations team.
“And then essentially, they give us orders for Kharkiv and said, ‘Go kill as many Russians as you can,’” he said.
After some training and preparation, with guns and ammunition from Ukraine’s supplies, the squad was off.
“We did all our own recruiting from foreigners who were already in Kyiv. And we did all our own resourcing, funding, like buying our own cars, funding our own safe houses,” Bam said.
In Kharkiv, their missions were largely self-driven. The Ukrainian government didn’t link them up with Ukrainian or other foreign volunteer units to coordinate, so they took it on themselves, introducing themselves to territorial defense forces, regular army units, airborne units, and Ukrainian Special Operations units.
After making connections near the front, Bam’s squad would get a brief on the latest on the Russians, and determine what kind of a mission they should run for the Ukrainians, from running reconnaissance on enemy positions to mining.
Offenbecker, the former Marine, also had to organize his fighting team on the fly. He had applied to the international legion but hadn’t heard anything back in about a week. Instead of waiting around for final plans, he told a few family members and close friends, packed up, and got himself to Ukraine.
“I didn’t hear anything so I just flew… anyways. I figured I would volunteer and help some other way,” Offenbecker said.
Once in Ukraine, he connected with the right people to join the international legion and was soon fighting with them in the Donbas in Eastern Ukraine.
Even in those early days, he started seeing some foreign volunteers that didn’t have any clue what they were in for.
“This is my third war I’ve fought in, and this is by far the worst one,” Offenbecker told The Daily Beast. “You’re getting fucking smashed with artillery, tanks. Last week I had a plane drop a bomb next to us, like 300 meters away. It’s horrifying shit.”
Once he was there, some of his buddies from the military started messaging him asking for information on how to join up, too. But he ignored messages for months.
“To be honest it was pretty bad so I didn’t want to bring anyone else into it,” he said.
The missions were grueling, Bramlette said. In Iraq or Afghanistan, Bramlette had air support, or supporting ISR, or intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. “The worst day in Afghanistan and Iraq is a great day in Ukraine,” he said. “Even when we thought it wasn’t, we were always in control of the situation… versus as a commander of a team in Ukraine,” where there are more unknowns.
On reconnaissance missions in Ukraine, you just have to wait until the team members come back, since comms aren’t reliable. “I would always send a reconnaissance element out first… as soon as those guys leave my side, I’m not gonna really hear from them until they’re back within eyesight. And that may be 24 hours later, maybe 48 hours later,” he explained. “If two of them get injured… there’s no helicopter coming to get you… shit can go south really, really frickin’ quickly. And that’s the kind of stuff that is pretty hard.”
When the wintertime set in, Bramlette made the call to send members of his small unit home to take a break. Their thermal signatures were popping more than in the summertime, giving away their positions. Staying out of Russian troops’ sights was growing harder each day, as leafy coverage disappeared. In addition to those issues, the squad’s vehicles kept breaking down, and they were running out of money.
“Since we’re a small unit tactics team… you’re running around… in front of the Ukrainian line and in front of the Russian line. You don’t have leaves on the trees, the bushes are bare, the trees are bare, and it’s colder… It’s really bad news bears,” Bramlette said. “You can’t hide.”
Without drastically changing their approach, they were setting themselves up for failure. “I was just afraid we would go out and do what we normally do and we’d all basically die,” he added.
And while the plan was to plug back in come January, Bam couldn’t bring himself to do it once he got to remove himself from the fog of war.
“When I came back in December it sort of gave me the distance, the space to sort of reevaluate everything that had happened because if I’m in charge of a whole team you don’t have time to really think about everything,” he said. “I kind of shut down a little bit, but it gave me the decompression space to reassess. And so I came to the conclusion that I’m not going to go back and fight.”
Bam is still working on helping the war effort from Kyiv through his work for The Weatherman Foundation, which has recently been working on locating and transferring the remains of Americans killed fighting in Ukraine.
Offenbecker is currently working on switching to a new team in Ukraine’s foreign legion, and has plans to continue fighting in Ukraine.
“I look at these children, and I have my own child and niece and nephews. If that were a circumstance for them, I would hope people from all over the world would come and try to help keep them safe and protected as well,” Offenbecker said. “That’s what keeps me here.”
But if the global community isn’t willing to properly address Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, Moscow will only continue its territorial expansion tear, Bramlette warned.
“If we don’t get serious about how we think about Russia, and we don’t stop Russia here, the next step is… Belarus gets folded into Russia. Or Moldova gets folded into Russia. Ukraine gets folded into Russia,” Bramlette said. “Russia is a rabid dog. The Kremlin needs to get put down.”
“The Kremlin needs to get put down.” And I suppose the US and Nato are angels by comparison!
By Christ, some people are stupid. Mind like a rabid turd. Zero insight into how the war came about yet ready to die on behalf of the first lie that is popped into his empty head.
Yea. The Russians fight back harder then the Palestinians or Yemenis against the nazi west… And they will have to expand their power over this corrupt lying filthy world… Our bankers have made it very clear.. There is only one rule, “force” No need for documents or agreements anymore.. Only one powerstructure will survive.
Wow ! What patriotism for another country . Have either of those people looked at their own southern border and seen the invasion taking place in their own country?? Or perhaps being in Europe already maybe they could help another European country( take your pick) halt the African invasion thats happening now. Oh wait CNN already told them that “Russia bad” so the brainwashing is complete. How ironic that they may die for a foreign country while theirs is being invaded and they do nothing.
So this thicko sheeple muppet believes the most basic propaganda? I’ve wasted a few Sunday minutes reading this twaddle.
Typical ignorant, American dumb asses. Keep on being ignorant chaps, one day the truth may dawn.
“This is the most righteous war that I think my generation will see in our lifetime. This is straight up good versus evil. That’s why I went. I was like, I can’t put up with this shit.”
– David Bramlette
If there’s ONE species DENSER than a THICK Brit… it’s no doubt a DUMB Yank! 😅😂🤣
Probably the stupidest article I’ve ever read. These jingoistic cowboys think Putin is bad, bad bad. They think about Zelensky and I wonder, do they think he is good, good, good? These 2 jokers did about 7 minutes of study on Maidan, the 14,000 Russians living in the eastern oblasts that were killed by basically renegade Nazi-fied troops, and the realities behind NATO’s/CIA’s intentions to put massive weaponry into Ukraine pointed at Moscow. Oh, sure, these fools think that the US is a purely noble and loving and altruistic country that wouldn’t hurt 3 flies. Read the book by Andre Vltchek, boys, and learn a lot about the 100 million people killed by the rapacious carpetbaggers that have for a long time wished to overwhelm Russia, break it into many smaller pieces, and rob the natural resources extant in Russia. These jockies don’t realize that they’ve been had, the bought the lies and travesties as created and supported by a renegade nation called the goddam United States……they think we are SimonPure, they think we wouldn’t rob, rape, and pillage, the stupid fools. Let ’em go fight the Russians, we’ve got plenty of body bags for them and their kindred.
Really indoctrinated. He’s there and can’t find the truth. Pathetic.
“Bramlette told The Daily Beast. “That’s why I went. I was like, I can’t put up with this shit.”!
Yea, but he can put up with negros burning down his country and his southern border opened wide to allow the mass invasion from South America.
“The urge to go for Bramlette was also personal.
“This is my third war I’ve fought in, and this is by far the worst one.””
Yea Bramlette/Offenbecker , that’s because you are now facing a modern army that can fight back instead of poorly armed indigenous people.
““And then essentially, they give us orders for Kharkiv and said, ‘Go kill as many Russians as you can,’” he said.”
There you have it folks, these creep was sent on a killing spree by their ((( masters ))) and they are still too stupid to realise the truth.
“Without drastically changing their approach, they were setting themselves up for failure. “I was just afraid we would go out and do what we normally do and we’d all basically die,””
Well get on with it then. The death of these greedy, amoral idiots can’t come soon enough.
bam is a bampot
Does this guy really care about the issues or is the opportunity Ukraine offers to kill people his motivation?
If this fellow was studying for a master’s degree in International Affairs surely he couldn’t think Russia rolling into Ukraine was implausible? Maybe he thought it would be easy money in an easy war against Russia, but again, how come he believed the hype? The Daily Beast is a pro-Pentagon lying gutter rag and I think this may be invention to push for NATO involvement in the lead up to their meeting in Vilnius.
What a load old intel spooky cobblers..because of course if you study ahem.’international affairs’ at coff coff …John Hopkins…
odds are you are CiA.. spinning ‘narrative’…..
….just like the rest of the OO Ra Russia imbeciles who are running an OP on you all.. for their gangster masters..
so don’t forget to get out and bang some ‘pans’* for the Russian Oligarchs..
NB*: heh ‘Pans’ for the pandemic pandemonium..all organic..
Of course…
“Russia is a rabid dog”….what a moron…
This is the same Daily Beast that did the hitpiece on Gonzalo Lira. A Zionist owned organization that I steer well clear of.
It is astonishing how a guy like this one can live his young life in the darkness. Good v Evil!!! It is more accurate to say Evil v Good. You are the dumb rabid dog, my man. Go, get an education proper, because right now you’re too dumb to live on.
These men may be good soldiers but they are dumb as rocks when it comes to understanding what has happened and is happening now in Ukraine and the true nature of western policy and the utter corruption of western media. I find it impossible to believe that these people are unaware of how corrupt and criminal the Ukraine regime is now and has been for the last twenty or more years. As one would expect from the likes of The Daily Beast the usual lie that Crimea was illegally annexed by Russia is trotted out, as the lie that the Russians murdered civilians in Bucha. One wonders whether this clown Bramlette has been coached by someone from the US State Department? If this is the mentality of the majority of the grunts downline from the psychopaths in charge in the US military and NATO then the chance of a major war against Russia is more likely.
I wonder why after 75 years of Jewish occupation there are no foreign soldiers willing to fight for Palestine…
Today’s volunteer soldiers certainly do seem to have their priorities wrong.
C’mon, why bother with what two retards have to say when the half dozen ricocheting neurons move them into a pensive, i.e., drooling state?
I just can’t believe how moronic they sound, quite embarrassing really, so if these are the cream of the crop, how bad are the rest, the average grunts?
Well, if the luminaries like Mark Milley, Lloyd Austin and Retchin’ Rachel Levine are anything to go by … the less said, the better.
Look who’s talking—The Daily Beast
Well I guess the 14,000 Russian speaking Ukrainians from the Donbas area weren’t murdered by the Ukrainians in Kiev starting in 2014. Oh and there is that historical fact that Crimea was part of Russia before the United States even came into existence.
Time for all the ignorant idiots volunteering as Mercenaries in Ukraine actually pull up some history books and learn what the real situation is in that Global location. They might also want to look at all the evidence of the United States saying NATO would not expand to the East and yet has done so over and over again. Ah, please do look into the 26 Bioweapons labs the United States built in Ukraine all along the border with Russia, where oh by the way the U.S. was working on none other than the COVID19 virus. Oops, just a few inconvenient facts that idiots are completely unaware of.
These guys are clueless morons! They’ve swallowed the Jew western media Lies hook line & sinker.
They’re totally brainwashed and are unconscious when it comes to the facts surrounding the Ukraine conflict, which basically is a showdown between Russia & Rothschild Jewry, which rules the west, using the USA as its Flagship & Britain as its escort, where Jake Rothschild presides.
NATO is a paper tiger and it’s getting Crushed. Viva Russia! The Rothschild era may be coming to an end, to the relief of 80% of the world. Dumb Americans don’t realize that their country has been conquered & occupied by the forces of Cabalist, Satanist Judaism.
this is good to learn the hard way that to
make war a fundament of living is not
worth it . children+women learned more
than you asshole !
Not feeling it. A bunch of jar heads are sporting to whup some Russian buttocks.
“There’s nothing more frustrating than training and training, training for something your whole life, or for years on end, and then never actually getting to sort of test your mettle,”
What a great reason to go to foreign lands and kill ‘bad guys’. (?) War is a racket, didn’t you get the memo? Have you tried gardening? Perhaps music or a little artwork? Maybe actually help a few people who may actually need help.
The Military Industrial Complex owns you. Retool you fool.
They all think they fight on the ‘good’ side. They just love death.
US propaganda!
Strike one: “Bramlette … in the middle of earning a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins in international affairs.”
Strike two: Bramlette 6 years in the Marines and joins US special forces because of Russian atrocities.
Strike three: “In 2014, just two months before Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine”
These guys Bramlette and Offenbecker(if that’s their real names), are typical over-militarized Americans completely blind and subject to American propaganda. They seem immune to the 2014 American instigated Ukrainian coup, the Ukraine ignoring Russian offers of negotiation, the drip-drip of NATO creeping closer to Russia’s borders and ignoring the promises of the U.S. and NATO promises not to do so. Russia is defending itself from the U.S. to desire destroy/dismember Russia; yet they dare to speak of Russian aggression. If there’s any rabid dog nation, it’s the United States with Washington to be put down.
Bramlette saw the war in Jewkraine with the perspective of, “It’s good and evil in my mind.” Bramlette is correct about that, but the stupid a**hole has it completely backwards on which side is which. The satanic imbecile can’t see the bloody obvious, that the U.S. and anything Jew has gone full-bore dark side, yet he was admitted into a graduate program for “international affairs”when it’s actually quite clear he should not have even been able to graduate high school.
But that feckin a**hole was enough of a moronic psychopath to go off and murder innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan, so I suppose he may as well continue to slaughter and destroy in league with evil.
Then the drooling village idiot Offenbecker chimed in with, “There’s a lot of really dumb-ass volunteers over here who have no business being in a war.” The brain-dead bloke was actually spot on with that bit, and it certainly applies to the two retarded psychopath a**holes featured here.
What a piece of crap this article is. Everything they say is backwards. Good against evil my ass. All lies.
Ukraine shelled and murdered 13000 civilians in the now Russian oblasts.
The Jewish cookie woman pulled a coup on the actual Ukrainian people. Burned many to death, and had snipers from Israel killing people at random, to terrorize the people into obedience .
Oviously, David Bramlette. like most Amerikans, is morally challenged. If you think Russia is evil and Ukraine good, you have zero morals and understanding of reality.
These woke retards should be encouraged to take one way trips to the front line.
Every reason this person went to Ukraine was pure USDA Grade A bs propaganda.
A Masters in International affairs!? God Help Us…..
I’m so thankful I wasnt the only one who thoguht this article was ridiculous!
This David Bramlette should not give up his day job. He will never make a living as a creative writer, for his powers of imagination will remain static on the ‘pig-ignorant git’ level.
So the “Daily Beast” (actually. just the Beast…screw the “daily” part) actually posts something that makes the Ukraine garbage “war” seem like garbage? Who woulda thunk it?
I wouldn’t describe the two soldiers featured above, as “mercenaries,” as the rolling headlines would have it.
If you’re having to buy your own vehicles and pay rent to secure safe houses from your own pocket, then the incentive for your participation, can’t be the promise of a purse. Both Bramlette and Offenbecker self-financed their own deployment to the Ukraine. They are foreign legion volunteers.
The motivation that the two men give, for risking all, so far from home, is what makes the article worthy of attention. Their glib invocations of “good and evil” and “righteous war” seem a little strained to me, somehow. The rote repetition of western atrocity propaganda may just as easily be indicative of low IQ, as of a hive mind but it might be an inauthentic bluff.
It’s in the enthusiasms that the two express for live battle that Bramlette and Offenbecker’s true spur is revealed.
“There’s nothing more frustrating than training and training, training for something your whole life, or for years on end, and then never getting to sort of test your mettle.”
These two are men with a taste for the front line. The underlying sub-text that I discern here is post traumatic “numbing” affliction.
I suspect that Bramlette and Offenbecker suffer from combat addiction. This is a genuine, clinically validated psychological condition, that besets war veterans. You’ll have noticed that the two men shared like profiles, prior to leaving for the Ukraine; both were former armed forces personnel and each had seen combat twice before.
PTSD, for men who have experienced combat in the field, can express as a condition called “numbing.” This term is used to describe a total loss of positive feelings toward others, a contemptuous disregard for family and friends, with increasingly disassociative behaviours, wilful isolationism and spiritual emptiness.
Psychiatry says that this expression of post-traumatic distress derives from the cessation of a soldier’s career and incumbent deprivation of the dopamine euphoria experienced in kill or be killed circumstances. The palsy of PTSD “numbing” has an alarming propensity for erupting into violences. Murdered wives, children and well-intending strangers, across the breadth of the US, are testament to the volatile lethality of veterans enduring “numbing” psychosis.
When Offenbecker mentions his family in the article, it’s in an off-hand and impersonal way; there’s no warmth in his perfunctory recital of “I have my own child and neice and nephews.” Telling blandishments, indeed, especially while he sees fit to simultaneously declare that it’s the children of Ukraine who are keeping him in the field.
There is intentional disassociation from his own kin. He doesn’t have a son or daughter, he has a “child.” That the child might possibly have a name, doesn’t seem to be something that’s held his attention very much. Offenbecker is a profile perfect sufferer of “numbing” PTSD.
The only way of alleviating the torments of “numbing” and of ensuring the safety of those around you, from the very worst of yourself, as commonly attested to by the afflicted themselves, is to immerse yourself in warfare once more. That ecstatic hormonal rush can be savoured anew and your impulse toward violence at home, is sated by blood-letting abroad.
Bramlette and Offenbecker are hooked on peril; they’re war addicts; combat junkies. They’re endeavouring to retrieve their psychiatric health, via the dispensation of murderous delights in the fields of Ukraine.
Some things make sense, without making sense, sometimes; especially in consideration of the irreparably cracked.
What a thicko. Waste of time article. Nil knowledge of the circumstances of this war. He is so dumb its amazing he knew where Jewkaine was.

“Some things make sense, without making sense, sometimes; especially in consideration of the irreparably cracked.”
Wonderful stuff, thank you for yet another of your fascinating contributions. If you are not a professor at Oxford, in a just world you would be. Mixing my tenses of course but you get my drift am sure 🙂
we europeans dont need + dont want you americans
defending europa or anything else here .
GO WHERE YOU CAME FROM !
@ CHAS MICK
RUSSIA TAKES BACK WHAT OVER
500 YEARS BELONGED TO RUSSIA !
@ BRAMLETTE/OFFENBECKER LEARN :
Mexico + Canada are USA hemisphere of interests .
Baltics, Poland, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria are russias
hemisphera of interests + Ukraine was always theirs !
These guys obviously did not reseach anything before rushing out to kill other human beings who did them no wrong. On the other hand, it is possible that these two idiots are not even real but rather this is a made up CIA article trying to drum up more bodies to fight this war that they cannot win.
Bless you, Tony. I’m chuffed by your compliment.
I don’t know that I’d fancy being a professor at Oxford University. I wouldn’t have minded being a dormitory monitor, during the 1920’s heyday of Lady Margaret Hall College in Oxford, though.
Just imagine, all of those precociously gifted, remarkably intelligent young women, gyrating their hips elastically to the charleston.
I would’ve been a lenient dorm monitor too. Just so long as there were no serious injuries resulting, I would have overlooked sorority pillow-fights, for example.
I lived in Oxford for a while, during the mid-1990’s. I loved the city’s gargoyles and sheena-na-gigs; its oolitic limestone elegance.
I was employed, at the time, as a lecturer at Oxford Polytechnic, which later became Oxford Brookes University, though it’s not an Oxford University college.
There were a couple of notoriously aggressive llamas, in a field adjacent to the Polytechnic and it was always fun on campus, when the Peruvians escaped and came rampaging across the quadrant, scattering the alarmed students and tucking into their packed lunches. I was fond of those llamas.
Oxford Poly: not quite the pinnacle of academy but notably close, of proximity, to the pinnacle of academy.
Tony O’Neill, you are a gentleman, sir.
“To me it’s, like, good and evil”–nice to see how deeply he is trained in International Relations
I’m an American military veteran, and it’s downright embarrassing and infuriating to me to see how stupid these volunteers are. Didn’t these fools ever learn that the first casaulty in any war is the truth? Plus, they swallowed the lies about “poor, innocent Ukraine” versus ” big bad Russia”. I’m a different generation than these morons. Their idiocy just shows how people in the U.S. have been progressively dumbed down throughout the years. No critical thinking nor a healthy dose of skepticism anymore.
