It is funny how my mind works.
I sometimes remember that day like photographs, not always a moving memory.
Photographs and sounds.
The sight of boots, the mud, the rain, the color of the truck, the wires sticking out of the wall and the blue plastic bag stuck in a tree, everything wet and dirty.
Male voices, Arabic words and names.
I do remember the smell of smoke too.
His eyes again looking into mine when I thought he is going to drag me out, but he turned around and hid me from them.
Microseconds. That's all it took for him to decide to do the right thing. And it was all the opportunity he got anyways..and then waiting to leave last.

It is just mind-boggling to me that this kind of thing still happens in this century, it seems like the kind of regression we should've collectively moved beyond decades, if not centuries ago
Just to clarify, this soldier who saved you was technically on the Islamist side?
So when he finally died in battle, it was on the wrong side?
What would his brother most likely be like all this time later? Would he have been sympathetic to the Islamist cause back then, or was his family just reluctantly drawn into it, under duress?

He was not.
The war was complicated.
There wasn't just two sides. There were conflicts of interests even between the secularists themselves , and people took advantage of the chaos to use their power. And to revenge personal clashes and the sort.
His family aren't islamists. They thought they sent their son to fight for stability. But things were more complicated than evil VS good.

@Miram I'm glad he did at least one good thing, I hope it was representative of how many other good acts he also did, maybe he was even a role model who instilled similar in others he had the most direct influence on
I'm so sorry you were ever affected by such pointless chaos, and inherited personal clashes you never asked to be a part of, everything then should've been so much different, everything today should be so much different as well, you deserve a better world, everyone does, except those who ruin it
