Soldiers' Tragic Fate in Conflict
Today, July 15th, many soldiers were martyred.
You might wonder why they didn't leave. Why wasn't the barracks empty?
I myself was a soldier until last month.
The things I'm about to say next are things that happened to me.
Right next to our barracks was the aerospace division.
When they hit the place next to us,
60 of us soldiers packed our bags, crying out that we couldn't do anything.
Send us home.
We all turned around and said, "This is an aerial war."
If it were on the ground, you'd have a reason to keep us.
They come with fighter jets. Do you expect us to shoot down missiles or jets with Kalashnikovs?
They held our phones hostage at the guardhouse.
They wouldn't give us our phones so we could leave.
They had called the barracks commander to come and stop us.
After two and a half hours, the barracks commander reached us in an escorted car.
He got out of the car, turned around, and said, "Shame on your honor."
"Shame on your pride."
"We are in the barracks just like you, we didn't leave."
At that moment, I said to myself, "How are you in the barracks like us, when it took you two and a half hours to reach us?"
The barracks we were in had a lot of staff.
They took all the staff and the equipment they needed to the backup headquarters.
One of the soldiers turned and said, "Sir, why aren't you taking us soldiers? Are we not human?"
He turned and said, "It's safe right here."
"The guards must stay so the barracks don't remain empty."
The guy was swearing, "If you run away, I'll send you all to the military court."
"I will personally make sure you go to prison and get extra service time."
Today, when I heard the soldiers were martyred, my heart just broke.
I've been forcing myself to swallow my tears since this morning.
These guys were supposed to finish their service like men and return home,
not for their corpses to be returned to someone else.
How are you going to answer their mothers? How are you going to answer their families?
Could they even do anything that you kept them there? If it were your own child, would you still keep them?

Original transcript (Persian)
امروز ۲۴ تیر، خیلی از سربازا شهید شدند. شاید واستون سؤال بشه چرا نرفتن؟ چرا پادگان خالی نبود؟ من خودم تا ماه قبل سرباز بودم. این چیزایی که می‌خوام در ادامه بگم اتفاقاییه که واسه خودم افتاده. بغل دست پادگانمون هوا فضا بود.
زمانی که بغل دستمونو زدن، ۶۰ تا سرباز کیف جمع کردیم، ناله می‌کردیم که آقا کاری از دست ما برنمیاد. ما رو بفرستین بریم خونه. همه برگشتیم گفتیم جنگ هواییه. اگه زمینی بود دلیل داشتین نگه دارید.
اینا با جنگنده میان، توقع داریم با کلاش موشک بزنیم یا جنگنده رو بزنیم؟ گوشی‌هامونو تو دژبانی گرو داشتند. گوشی‌هامونو نمی‌دادن که بریم. زنگ زده بودن واسه فرمانده پادگان که بیاد جلومونو بگیره. بعد از دو ساعت و نیم فرمانده پادگان با یه ماشین اسکورت شده رسید به ما.
از ماشین پیاده شد، برگشت گفت تف تو شرفتون. تف تو غیرتتون. ما هم مثل شما توی پادگانیم، ما نرفتیم. اونجا من تو دلم گفتم تو چطور مثل ما تو پادگانی که دو ساعت و نیم طول کشید برسی به ما؟ پادگانی که توش بودیم کلی کادر داشت.
همه کادرا و ابزارهایی که نیاز داشتند رو بردن مقرهای یدکی. از سربازا برگشت گفت جناب چرا ما سربازا رو نمی‌بریم؟ ما مگه آدم نیستیم؟ برگشت گفت همینجا امنه. نگهبانا باید بمونن تا پادگان خالی نمونه. طرف قسم می‌خورد که اگه فرار کنین همتونو می‌فرستم دادسرا.
خودم پیگیری می‌کنم که برین زندان، اضافه همتونو می‌زنم. یه امروز شنیدم سربازا شهید شدند اصلاً دلم پرپر شد. از صبح بغضمو به زور قورت می‌دادم. اینا قرار بود بیان مثل مرد خدمتشون رو تموم کنن برگردن خونشون. نه اینکه بیان جنازه‌شون دست یکی دیگه برگرده.
جواب مادرشون رو می‌خواین چی بدین؟ جواب خانوادشون رو می‌خواین چی بدین؟ اصلاً هیچ کاری از دستشون برمی‌آمد که اونجا نگهشون داشتین؟ بچه خودتون بود بازم نگهشون می‌داشتین؟
