A West Point graduate and former Army Ranger who honored his Ukrainian ancestry by defending the nation against Russian-backed separatists was killed in fighting near the border, according to reports.
Mark Gregory Paslawsky, a 55-year-old investment banker who was born in New York but had lived in Kiev for several years, was fighting with the volunteer Donbas Battalion in the town of IIovaysk on Tuesday when he suffered mortal injuries, according to Vice News. He died from his injuries a short while later. No details were available on how he incurred his injuries.
“He was saying that he was in pain and that he didn't want to die,” Maxim Dondyuk, a Ukrainian photographer embedded with the Donbas Battalion, told Vice News. “People were telling him he was going to be okay. I think it might have been possible to save him if we had medevac helicopters or ambulances, but all there was on hand were the battalion medics."
Paslawsky was part of Ukrainian forces that have been battling separatists for control of IIovaysk, about 37 miles from the Russian border. The Ukrainian fighters have been trying to seize the city in order to cut off the supply route from Russia to Donetsk, a separatist stronghold 30 miles west of Ilovaysk.
Paslawsky, who insisted on serving as a private despite his U.S. Army experience, was known by the codename "Franko."
A man with conviction. Not sure why he would want to be a private when he probably could have done more by using the skills he learned as a Ranger at a higher level. Link - ( New Window )
Paulie Walnuts is already manning the barricades Â
View of "dicksuckers", right? You should probably stay away from that topic, least you display more of your bigotry.
I don't think even he is stupid enough to go down that road again and get banned just so that he can grovel to Eric about how he didn't know what he was doing because he was an emotional mess because of his girlfriend. But we can all hope.
in years. When I lasted visited about 5 years ago it was getting exponentially crazier, not incrementally, I think the first year of the Obama presidency I realized if I stayed, I'd be committed to a mental institution in another 6 months
heh

Slappy is steely in his resolve and meticulous in his preparation.
Sorry, I didn't get the script rewrite...
I know the feeling...this is why I love Giants football...just a little break for awhile.
What makes it even better is that no one has even done the Slappy top 10 countdown
