RFK’s grandson reveals “secret” Ukraine fighting

| October 26, 2022

Conor Kennedy, the grandson of Bobby, says on Instagram he secretly went to Ukraine and fought there before coming home.

“Going in, I had no prior military experience and wasn’t a great shot, but I could carry heavy things and learned fast,” he wrote. “I was also willing to die there. So they soon agreed to send me to the northeastern front.” CBS News

Conor, known mainly as Taylor Swift’s ex, describes his time there as short, and says he did not use his real last name and revealed his real identity to only a couple of people.

“Like many people, I was deeply moved by what I saw happening in Ukraine over the past year. I wanted to help. When I heard about Ukraine’s International Legion, I knew I was going, and I went to the embassy to enlist the next day.”  Vanity Fair

Kennedy did not specify when he joined and left the legion. Representatives for the International Legion did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment. Insider was not independently able to verify Kennedy’s claims.  Business Insider

While I am normally  a real Pollyanna and naively trust in the innate goodness of other people (well, at least with BBQ sauce, said Jeffrey), I am trying to quell my innate cynicism about this – the scion of a political family – nay, dynasty – fading from importance heads to a combat zone to serve selflessly for someone else’s cause. I hope it is true and not a politically Machiavellian gambit aimed at 2024…maybe it’s the last name of Kennedy that makes me think that. If not a stunt, it’s admirable. If it is a stunt…well, I’m sure it will eventually come out in the wash a la Kerry, Blumenthal, and the host of other political posers.

Not buying this tale of derring-do.

Can you imagine the propaganda coup for the Russians if this knucklehead were to be captured?

Sounds more like an attempt to regain some semblance of public relevance, and/or perhaps land a role on a “reality TV show”.

Or join a boy band– is Nsync still around?

“Jin, Lead Singer Of K-Pop Boy Band BTS, To Enter South Korean Army”

“Other BTS Members Eventually Will Perform Required Military Service”

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/oct/17/jin-lead-singer-k-pop-boy-band-bts-enter-south-kor/

“The lead singer of the K-pop boy band BTS has been ordered to compulsory military duty in South Korea, inviting comparisons to Elvis Presley’s enlistment in the U.S. Army in 1957.”

“Kim Seok-jin, known professionally as Jin, will soon begin military service and the other members of BTS will eventually follow suit.”

Mmmmmyeah, ALL South Korean Men are required to do a minimum of 2 years of Military Service, so I hope he does it in a ROK Unit near the DMZ!

Yeah, just another war tourist. Show up, see some damage from the war and fuck off. Claiming how much good they did in the 2 weeks they were there.

Almost a PT-109 story for him?

The Kennedy tree is still around?

Have any of that tree’s branches died yet?

That dysfunctional family is STILL procreating?

Sheesh…🙄

He was willing to die in Ukraine?

Wonder if he ever tried to enlist in any of the United States Military Branches…and die for the United States…

I’m sure if he had actually served in the US military, it might have gone about as well as Teds 21 months in the Army.

Hack Stone

It was “good enough” for him to be interred at Arlington National Cemetery. Ted Kennedy was an integral part of keeping the North Koreans from invading France.

USMC Steve

He’s lying. It comes naturally to a Kennedy, particularly one of that fuckstick RFK’s offspring.

Anonymous

A couple of months and they let him go already? Could he get a haircut, at least?

5JC

So he is was willing to die there but not willing to do the same for his own country? Why not stay till the job was done? Sounds like he doesn’t really know what being a soldier is all about.

And how did he come home? I thought there was no going home till it was over once you went in.

Anonymous

Didn’t want to say he got kicked out for being a ‘tard and/or getting caught snorting blow off a stripper’s *ss.

MustangCPT

I know one of you predicted Ukraine war phonies, but to have one possible fraud be a Kennedy on top of it? I’ve stated my utter loathing of this family and hope that it eventually dies out. There’s not a decent or intelligent person among them.

“Taylor Swift’s ex”

Drove him off to war did she?

Seeing how that was 10 years ago I

Imagine he likely got over it. Here is a guy that was handed every advantage in life and has done nothing with it. Then he up and decides Eatern Europe is the hill he wants to die on.

And then wrote a song about him.

He didn’t use his real name. Why? Anyone else know the names of RFKs kids much less his grand kids.

RFK Jr is one…

He was actually on a sooper seekrit squirreel mission to meet with this gas company dood.

Man that is one clean uniform and clean set of kit!🤣 Seriously, look at those gloves.

I’m admiring all of that bright blue tape that he’s adorned himself with.

It really enhances his attempt at camouflage.

Well, when you don’t have a PT belt you have to improvise!

Is that a spray painted 240/FN MAG? fuh-king WHY?

Who is trying to hide from with a crew-served?

The 1913 rail is now standard issue?

If it wasn’t for the linked rounds on the floor I’d insist this was an ‘airsoft with the boys’ pic.

Prior Service

Semi-pass. At least he (maybe) did something to kill some Russians. But…. Why so short? What ulterior motive will come out later? And, yes, why not serve with our armed forces. Recalibrating to a semi-partial-pass. But if he killed (or tried to kill) Russians, that’s alright in my book. IF. Maybe it’s his plan to reverse the stained name??

Blaster

So, he couldn’t be”moved”, Or bothered, to join the US military. The whole story sounds like BS to me anyway, and we don’t need any more attention seekers in the US military. I still find it funny, that he could be moved but another countries war but none of his own country’s

Bless his little heart.

Just what we need; another Kennedy getting his head blown off.

Hack Stone

Too soon?

Corpsmanup

It’s hard to know the truth. Seems very self aggrandising. Especially seeing how he could easily have gone to one of our fine service academics with his last name and served in the America’s armed forces. I am from the same area so of course the media is running puff pieces about it. It’s hard to vet any stories but if he did at least one good thing , I will give him his due course of respect.

MustangCPT

I won’t even if he did go. He’s like that cocksucker Nance. Go over, LARP for a bit and then come home. Must be nice…

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!

I’m sure that his tales of derring-do are truly genuine as Dick[less] Blumenthal’s accounts of service in Vietnam and Das Hildebeast’s accounts of landing under Sniper fire in Bosnia.

You can expect his self filmed documentary of the carnage that he encountered in U of The Ukraine to be debuting on Netflix in 5, 4, 3, 2….

That should be “U of The Kraine”. Hack Stone Publishing regrets the error.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the current (draft) official TAH list of POSer Areas of Operations (AOs):

What POSer AOs am I missing?

You forgot the Cam of Bodia. Several of our POSers claim they conducted secret squirrel missions there. Even Lurch says he was there on a secret infil mission that never happened, the Magic Hat mission.

For years, Kerry has said he was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve 1968. He gave a detailed view of that experience in an article he wrote for the Boston Herald in 1979. “I remember spending Christmas Eve five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas,” Kerry wrote. “The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real.”

https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/kerry_disputes_allegations_on_cambodia/

Apparently President Elect Richard Nixon had full authority over US Military Forces four weeks prior to being sworn in as Commander In Chief. Never knew that Presidents could be frocked.

Someone had to go up there and kill Col Kurtz.

Accusing a politician of embellishing their military service is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indianapolis 500.
