  1. Freedom implies the right to do some things which are amazingly foolish. Some people exist to serve as examples to others.

  2. Some troops in any military are dumber than the proverbial bag of hammers. They may manage their tasking well enough yet be utterly lost in the outside world. This has always been the subject of G.I. humor, much of it too offensive for Youtube.

  3. Keeping it real no American has any legitimate personal business in Russia since the 1917 Revolution. You are either there on diplomatic orders etc or you should have stayed home. To go there at this point in time is almost as breathtakingly stupid as everyone who doesn't see that as breathtakingly stupid. Just because you show up at MEPS with pulse and respiration doesn't make you a hero, a patriot or anything else. BTW this sort of thing is far from new. Early last century it was common for inexcusably naive Europeans and Americans to travel to the supposed workers paradise of Soviet Russia. The Soviets quite reasonably assumed most were spies then imprisoned or liquidated many of them, a thoughtful gesture far more courteous than returning to sender. Today ignorance no matter how epic is not considered shameful so we get even more silly human tricks than usual. Russia should give him the five years in general population so his new friends can educate him in their quaint local customs. 😂
