John Wayne Troxell, former Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC) of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (retired), said that former members of the Ukrainian military he knows well — men who have rejoined the service in order to help fight against Russia's invasion — are 'unflappable' in the face of attacks.
"The other day I talked to my friend ‘L,’" Troxell told Fox News Digital this week, referencing one of the individuals he got to know years ago and has maintained a friendship with to this day. "He and his band of other former soldiers — they all had their AK-47s and they all had smiles on their faces. In the face of this Russian attack, they are just unflappable" in standing up for their country's independence, said Troxell.
Troxell also said somberly,"In the end, the sheer numbers of the Russian forces may overtake them. But they are not going down without a fight — and certainly, my friends ‘A’ and ‘L’ are not going down without a fight. They are staying in it." Troxell explained that when he retired two years ago,"I was the senior enlisted individual at the Department of Defense, and my goal was to provide the pulse of the force to [Joseph Francis] Dunford, the chairman [from Oct. 1, 2015-Sept. 30, 2019], and the Secretary of Defense, whomever that person was at the time — and for two years [from Jan. 2017-Jan. 2019], it was Sec. James Mattis," he said.
The man even attended"my retirement ceremony," said Troxell,"so I've kept in touch with him, and there's another friend of mine there as well."But given the Russian invasion,"he's now taken up arms to fight against the Russians.
