Here is Derek Huffman, a Texan who was so captivated by Russia and its policy of protecting traditional values that he left the United States with his family and moved to Russia.
Hoping to obtain citizenship, he signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Initially, he was promised a position in a rear unit, and later in engineering.
After only two weeks of training — an extremely short period — he was assigned to an assault unit. Since then, he has not made contact.
His family panicked. In addition to not receiving the money promised under the contract, they had to send Huffman funds themselves so he could buy proper equipment. It was shortly after this that he disappeared somewhere in eastern Ukraine.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
