Original Note:
James Vasquez is not a US Special Forces veteran. He spent some time in the US Army reserve but did not deploy. He did go to Ukraine to volunteer but was widely discredited, when his falsified background and questionable behaviour became well known. https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-war-american-volunteers-infighting-military-records-russia-2023-3 https://nypost.com/2023/04/24/connecticut-man-who-fought-in-ukraine-lied-about-being-us-war-hero/
