‘Scary, cold, hungry and lonely’: Volunteer soldier shares experience on front line | CNN

I'm so sorry to hear about Akula's experiences, it's like he was living in a nightmare and can't wake up 🤕. I mean, you're fighting for your country, doing what you think is right, but the reality of war is just brutal 💔. No one wants to talk about the mental health stuff, you know? It's all like "toughen up, soldier" or whatever 😒. But it's not that easy. The isolation, the fear, the weight of what you've seen... it's all so overwhelming 🌪️. I think we need more support for our soldiers, you know? Not just physical stuff, but mental health too 💕. They're risking their lives over there, and when they come back, they're expected to just be fine? No way, dude 😩. We gotta do better by them.
 
I'm literally shook by this article 🤯💔 Akula's story is giving me ALL THE FEELS, you know? It's like, we think war is just about fighting and winning, but really it's so much more than that 😩 It's about the human cost, the emotional toll, the trauma that lingers long after the battle is over 💥 And it's not just the soldiers who are affected, their families and loved ones too 🤝 I mean, we need to start talking about this more and supporting our troops in a way that goes beyond just saying thank you 🙏 They need mental health support, they need resources, they need us to listen and validate their experiences 💬 It's time for us to acknowledge the unseen toll of war and do something about it 🚨💪
 
I'm telling you, it's like they say - war affects everyone, not just the ones on the front lines 🤕. I've seen so many young people like Akula, throwing their lives away for a cause that seems so far removed from their own problems. The thing is, we're only showing the face of war - all those heroic soldiers and news anchors talking about it. But what about the ones who are left behind? They're the ones struggling to cope with PTSD, anxiety... it's like they're invisible 🙃. We need more than just a sympathetic ear or a PR campaign to help them heal. We need real support systems in place for these guys when they get back home 💕.
 
😔 I'm literally shaken by Akula's story, you know? Like, I can barely even process how scared he was, and still is, on a daily basis... 🤯 It breaks my heart thinking about all the guys his age who are struggling with PTSD, feeling like they're losing their minds, and nobody's really giving them the support they need. 🤷‍♂️ I mean, we think of soldiers as heroes, but what about when they come back home? What kind of help can we actually offer them? They're still young, still figuring out who they are outside of war... it's like, we need to be more understanding and compassionate towards these guys. 🤝 We can't just leave them to deal with their trauma alone, you know? That's not how we solve this problem... 🙏
