On the plane, a woman shouted at a young soldier, calling him a traitor to the Motherland: but the next day she read his name in the news and regretted what she had done 😱😨
In the airplane cabin, the usual silence reigned. Some passengers dozed off, others looked out the window. Next to a woman in her fifties sat a young soldier. His uniform was neat, but his gaze — empty, tired. He stared at the floor, and it seemed his thoughts were far away, somewhere amid smoke, screams, and fire.
A flight attendant approached him. Her voice was soft, but filled with genuine compassion:
— Sir, I’ve just heard about your comrades. I’m so sorry. You must know: you are a true hero. We are proud of you.
The soldier nodded, forced a slight smile, almost out of politeness, and lowered his head again. His hands trembled, and his eyes remained cold and lost.
The woman beside him, who had been watching him with open contempt, suddenly couldn’t hold back. Her voice rang sharp, almost accusatory:
— A hero? You are a traitor. How can you live knowing you didn’t save your friends?
The soldier raised his eyes. Tears glistened in them, despair was written on his face. But he remained silent.
The woman, as if sensing weakness, went on, unable to restrain her anger:
— You only thought of yourself, just to survive! You lived, but they are gone. How will you look their mothers in the eye? Their wives? You are a monster!
Each word struck straight into his heart. The soldier sat silently, lips pressed into a thin line. In his eyes there was neither anger nor protest — only pain.
It was clear: he already carried a burden heavier than any punishment. But the woman kept talking. For a long time. Again and again, as if deliberately rubbing salt into the wound.
When the plane landed, she stood up and walked past him without a single glance. She felt she had said what needed to be said.
But the next day everything changed. Opening the news, the woman saw a familiar face. On the screen was him — the same soldier from the plane. Learning the full truth about the young man, the woman bitterly regretted her actions 😱😱 Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All comments 👇
