man this article is so sad 
i feel like we're always hearing about the big picture of war but never really think about what it's like to be on the front lines it's like they say war has no face, but in reality it's just a bunch of scared kids like akula trying to survive 
and the mental health toll is so underrated people always talk about PTSD but like how do you even explain that to someone who's never been through it 
i feel like we're always hearing about the big picture of war but never really think about what it's like to be on the front lines it's like they say war has no face, but in reality it's just a bunch of scared kids like akula trying to survive and the mental health toll is so underrated people always talk about PTSD but like how do you even explain that to someone who's never been through it 
they're not just fighting for their country, they're fighting for their sanity 
but the mental toll is just as real 
akula's story is a wake-up call 
we need to be more supportive and understanding 
of our troops who are bravely serving us 
and not just their physical bodies, but also their mental well-being
