“A raw, selfie-style 9:16 video filmed at a military training base in winter.
A U.S. soldier around 30 years old speaks directly to the camera outdoors.
He wears light winter duty gear, with breath visible in the cold air.
Background shows a quiet base with no celebrations happening nearby.
He explains that others are home for the holidays, but they remain on duty to protect America.
No cinematic lighting, no filters, no AI artifacts.”
