I stumbled across this video of a volunteer in Kherson pulling someone's charred body out of a house after a strike. It triggered a massive flashback for me, obviously. Back in '22, part of my job was body recovery, but this one case stuck with me hard because it was pretty much the only time I ever broke down. When you work in that kind of environment around the KIA and severely wounded, you usually bury all your emotions deep down inside, but that time, something just clicked. They were bringing in the casualties from the front lines. Back then we were stationed right in Avdiivka, and most of the time you couldn't even drive out to the positions. During the brief windows when we actually could, either we’d haul ass out there, or, more often, they’d drop them off at the transfer point. The guys run in, say they have wounded and KIA, and hand me a military ID. I’m like, "What for?" Because usually, we didn't bother with that kind of paperwork. I look at it - the kid was born in 2004... I go to grab the body, they hand me a standard body bag, but visually it’s practically empty. I pick it up, there’s maybe 40 pounds in there, max. I’m like, "Where's the body?" - "That’s him." I look at him, completely losing it, and go, "What do you mean?" - "Direct hit on the dugout, that’s all that’s left..." It completely fucked me up. Whether it was the built-up burnout, or the fact that an 18-year-old kid’s life ended just like that, or the fact that my younger brother was the exact same age. I don't know, but my heart just broke for him, for his family, and for all of us. Why am I even sharing this? Probably because Russia is a piece-of-shit state that brings nothing but death. And no matter how much we crave peace and quiet, as long as that country exists with its current leaders and ideology, there will be many more charred bodies like that. Young guys, women and men, grandparents, kids...

Video games may not teach life skills, but they did teach me one thing: never hide behind red explosive barrels…
