Sometimes I feel somewhat useless having desires that show a lack of empathy for the martyrdom of soldiers fighting to save us from the aggression of ego. Although, I am quite sure that I have been in that position myself in prior lives, as the memories emotion wells up in me from a distant past. There is a strong determination to play the sentinel again if need be, but it’s a wild crazy feeling that is willing to die for freedom against tyranny. Especially in the righteous cause that we know to be a motivating factor. I also pray for the hopelessness of soldiers who know they are being used as fodder for the evil aggression of their counterparts.
Praying for all involved in the Ukrainian invasion.
Tonite I saw an interview with a Ukrainian veteran of this war. He clearly is a man hardened to battle and described his actions in Bucha, Kharkiv, Kherson, and other warzones. He said his wife was still in territories occupied by Russia, that he loves her, and answered yes when asked if many of his comrades had been killed.
But what impressed me most is that at the end the camera caught him crying, a really tough soldier, emotions overwhelming him after reminding his vicissitudes in the Ukraine ‘special military operation ’
Your account is heart wrenching Mccoy.
