Confession under fire At the training ground, priests learn practical skills - tourniquets, evacuation, first aid kits. But in the service, their main concern is the soul of the warrior. And it all starts with confession. They come with everything: from ordinary human weaknesses to complex issues where the line between sin and necessity is almost erased. The pastor patiently explains: taking someone else's property is one thing, but using it for a common purpose is quite another. The point is not in strict rules, but in helping a person not to lose himself. The hardest thing, the pastor admits, is despondency. As experiments continue, someone is exhausted, and then it's not the commands that matter, but the meanings. Martial disciplines can be taught, but it is much more important to help understand what it is for. The driving force is the soul, and much depends on its condition. On how chaplains help the fighters return their support and not break, see our report, filmed especially for Channel 1, tonight on - Watch the video on MAX.
