Michael Gloss, 21, was the son of CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss, and Iraq war veteran Larry Gloss.
Before arriving in Russia on August 13, 2023, Gloss was travelling around Europe. On his Vkontakte page bio, he wrote: "I ran away from home (and) traveled the world. I hate fascism."
On April 4, 2024, he was killed, likely during a Russian offensive near Bakhmut, however, his burial in the U.S. did not take place until December 2024, Important Stories reports.

So they all should be under investigation.
His social media posts show a distinct change in his views — one identified by Important Stories as belonging to Gloss suggest he believed in conspiracy theories involving Ukraine, and claimed NATO was an evolution of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party.
As always, the root villain is engagement-driven social media.
He died doing what he loved, being a fucking idiot.
This.
Amen.
Ran away from home as an adult, lolz
I can relate. sometimes shit gets toxic late in life.
"I hate fascism" and then fighting for Russia however...... damn bro.
Good riddance and a minuscule loss. The NATO supplied tungsten is working. Did the CIA know where this dumbfuck ended up?
This is the worst Disney secret agent teen action tv show ever.
Or the best if you're seeing it from the perspective of the drone operator.
The irony is that even though he was a tankie he did not get to ride in a cool tank ☹️
one less tankie in the world. All the others need to follow his example right the fuck now
So nothing important was lost. 🌻🌻
Would you mind explaining why you added the sunflower emoji? I googled it and it's their national flower, but what's the purpose of putting it in comments?
good
His obit linked from that article got pulled, but @betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world posted some screenshots in the other thread
Bet it was just a rebellious phase because his mom works for the CIA. Mission accomplished comrade you stuck it to the man.
And nothing of value was lost
Womp womp
Okay, I know some kids want to be the exact opposite from their parents, but I think he took it a little bit too far...
