Resting against the sturdy walls of their protective haven, they find comfort in each other's company and indulge in a well-deserved smoke. Rifles lay gently beside them as reminders of the constant vigilance required to defend their country. Surrounded by towering trees that bear witness to the horrors unfolding nearby, this scene encapsulates both camaraderie and exhaustion experienced by those who served during this tumultuous time.
