I dont want to be a commander Id rather join the infantry as a soldier
This was the wish of a company officer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They rarely sit on positions or in the field, and suffer less from physical hardships, see less of the enemys muzzle, but they have many other difficult duties; sending soldiers to their deaths, saying: We must take it at any cost, saying: there was no order to retreat! when it is known that the forces are unequal, raking from senior commanders and many other psychologically difficult things.
But there is one more mandatory function that few people talk or think about it is different from all the psychological and physical challenges. Sitting near a pile of mobile phones left by dead soldiers and looking for Mum in the list, calling and hearing on the speaker:
Son, at last Ive been waiting for you
P.S. To all parents
I bend the knee to all the parents who have been waiting for this + text on their messengers for weeks. I am a father myself and I would not want to change places with you. All the soldiers know how you wait every night and cant sleep, so forgive us
We were left with no choice!
I have a very tough story.
We were loading a dead guy into the truck, and at that moment his phone rang many times. Over and over again, it wouldnt stop. It irritated us. My colleague said:
turn off the damn phone
The other guy took the phone and with a bewildered and worried look, he pointed at it.
We just saw:
Мама
Then everyone was silent for a long time and did our work.
I will never forget that phone call. Sometimes in the silence, I can hear it. And I know that I have to call my mom.

我不想當指揮官我寧願以士兵的身份加入步兵。
這是一位烏克蘭武裝部隊連級軍官的心願。他們很少在陣地或野外駐守，較少遭受肉體上的艱辛，也較少直麵敵人的槍口，但他們有許多其他艱巨的任務；派遣士兵去送死，說著：我們必須不惜一切代價，明知兵力懸殊的情況下說：不會有撤退的命令！，受高階指揮官的訓斥，以及許多其他心理上難以承受的事情。
但還有一個很少有人談論或想到的強製性職責...它與所有心理和生理上的挑戰都不同。坐在死去的士兵留下的手機堆旁，在列表中尋找媽媽，撥打電話，聽著擴音器傳來的聲音：
兒子，終於我一直在等你
附：致所有父母
我向所有戰士的父母致敬，他們幾周來一直在手機信使上苦等新信息。我自己也是一位父親，我不想與你們互換位置。所有士兵都知道你們每晚的等待、以至無法入眠的心情，所以請原諒我們
我們別無選擇！
我有一個非常沉重的故事。
我們當時正把一位陣亡的士兵抬上卡車，就在那時，他的手機響了很多次。一遍又一遍，它不停地響著。這讓我們感到不知所措。我的同事說：
把這該死的電話關掉。
另一個人拿起手機，帶著困惑和擔憂的表情，指向它。
我們隻看到：
媽媽（手機上來電顯示）
然後每個人都沉默了很長時間，默默的做完我們的工作。
我永遠不會忘記那通電話。有時在寂靜中，我會聽到它。我知道我必須給我媽媽打電話了。
