Not the time to lose one’s head.
That’s not the way to get ahead in life.
It’s a shame he wasn’t more headstrong.
He’ll never be the head of a major corporation.
The helmets! They do nothing!
This wouldn’t have happened if the person was at home, on their own land.
Moral: go home.
That’s an intense one.
At least it was probably an instant lights-out as far as the soldier was concerned. Those bodily movements afterward were probably just leftover reflexes.
I saw a video of a similar situation much earlier in the war that was definitely not an instant lights-out, you could really tell the difference. A haunting memory, but I think it’s good to see these now and then to put the proper perspective on things. I still want the Ukrainians to win, of course, but this adds extra impetus to wanting them to win quickly.
Wonder why it didn’t rip off or completely smash the head. Is the charge that small?
Yeah, grenades are mostly shrapnel with a very small explosive charge.
