UK: Russian advance in Bakhmut could come with heavy losses

Russian forces have made progress in their campaign to capture the city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, the focus of the war’s longest ground battle, but their assault will be difficult to sustain without more significant personnel losses, British military officials said Saturday.

When I was through with basic training I was sent to Ft Devens, Mass for training. I rode a train from Portland, Oregon, all across the upper United States. It was a wonderful ride, full of scenery.

When we got close to Ft. Devens, we knew that we had to get of at Worchester, Mass. Well, when the cabin attendant came through he announced the next stop as Woooster. We figured that wasn’t our stop, but it was. The Massachusetts language was somewhat different than what we were used to.

We then were told that we should have gotten off at the last stop. We got off at the next stop and my buddies relatives had to come and pick us up there.

I had the privilege to meet a Vietnam veteran while shopping for groceries. I seem to have the knack to find them. This guy is a true hero. His name is Milt Hoch. He had three tours in Vietnam. He didn’t have to. He chose to.

He was in intense fighting, even face to face fighting. He was once stabbed through both legs at once with a bayonet. He was still able to kill the enemy and survive.

I have an interview with him in my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. It is riveting.
