    it’s genuinely incredible how unserious these foreign combatants take this

    I mean, they're total amateurs. Its like someone shipped a bunch of Jan 6th Instagram models to the front. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a handful of people in the group telling people to turn off their cell phones, don't take pictuers, don't post shit online. But its not like these dofuses are actually in a command structure or operating out of some kind of play book. Even if only 1 in 10 of them fuck up, that's still an orgy of data for trained Russian intelligence to pounce on.

    Idiot assholes taking selfies exposed Abu Garab among other American war crimes. This isn't something unique to the Reddit Batallion. Its just indicative of how trivialized being a soldier has become in the mind of Americans.
