as a ex-soldier myself, I could cry when viewing this.

The thing about being in the military you form bonds with the people next to you and when they leave it’s hard. You don’t leave your comrades behind it’s hard to explain but being with them feels right knowing they’re safe with you otherwise it nags at the back of your mind. That’s the warrior mentality

I feel bad for the guy who lost his fingers. I hope he lives a long and happy life

8:25 that old soldier spoke facts

Jimmy and Ukrainian commander said: “there are times when a person fights for about 10 minutes and get injured; others carry out one, two or three assignments but come unscathed” that’s the reality of this war.

The thing with a threat is, the first time you use it there is great shock and fear, but after you've repeated it a hundered times it loses it's meaning.
