Poor guy. I hope he makes it out alive and finds the right help.

I had in mind posting more videos from the front - not necessarily like this one, but ones that are definitely NSFW or even NSFL.
But I don't know if that's the direction the owner/mod wants to take his magazine or if that'd be something that people here actually want to look at.
So, pinging @Cosmical

It is bot something that I „want“ to look at. But it is part of the reality. Everyone should know what war looks like, and what is really going on.

Very likely that's not the case. This is a common occurrence in people with PTSD, where due to the abnormal levels of stress hormones which the body normally produces in extremely stressful situations in order to trigger a "fight or flight" response.
That's why you have a lot of people with PTSD wake up with this sort of panic reactions, or similarly react to other stimuli (fireworks, thunder, etc)

That makes sense. Thanks.

kinda dickish thing to do, IMO. I hope it was satisfactorily resolved.
