If that’s true, it wasn’t the reddit user, it was the soldier. You don’t fucking give out that kind of info for this reason exactly
Reminds me of a Canadian soldier that was talking about going there to help and seeing Ukrainian soldiers getting out of fox holes to have a smoke and getting shot…
When war lasts for a long time you start running out of properly trained soldiers…
Fun fact: this is exactly what’s happening in Healthcare right now! I feel like every other week I have to explain basic concepts to my newer coworkers, and it’s not even their faults because admin is basically having them all train each other. Most new nurses these days are lucky to be trained by another nurse who has more than a full year of experience. And the resident doctors make all kinds of mistakes literally just because residency is basically hazing to the extent that they force them to work back to back to back nights vs days without adequate time to shift their circadian rhythms properly, so they’re relying on a new nurse trained by a slightly less new nurse to catch errors by a doctor who is also relatively new but most importantly has gotten 2 hours of sleep out of the last 72. I highly recommend getting in shape and wearing your seatbelt because whoever you think is going to save you after you get catapulted across 3 lanes of a crowded highway is becoming more likely to just kill you faster and more painfully every year.
Thanks, that was a fun fact!
On the contrary, when war lasts a long time you only have trained soldiers left
The important word that you seem to have skipped is “properly”
Loose lips sink ships.
Eh, it can be both. The soldier shouldn’t have posted his location online, but neither should the Redditor have reposted it in public.
Eh, it can’t be both, soldiers are trained to avoid shit like that. Once it was somewhere online, the info was compromised. No photos, no geolocation, no phones even.
Exactly, you can’t unpost something from the internet. Even if it wasn’t reposted to Reddit, I wouldn’t trust Facebook servers
If you’re in a life or death situation, it’s ABSOLUTELY on you to not expose your location. There’s a reason people in the army are supposed to keep operational security, because once the info is out, you can’t control where it goes.
Even if you trust everyone you tell, one slip up can fuck you over.
Eh, one is a professional doing a job and the other is a redditor. I put the blame on the professional who put their own life and the others they work with in jeopardy.
posts on Facebook… In private
Imma stop you right there
I clearly tagged my post as private, what are you implying?
Some absolute turbo genius Russian propagandist did a livestream by an artillery piece near the front lines, the Ukrainians obviously shelled it.
It happens a lot, sadly.
Everyone knows you don’t post your military secrets on reddit.
You post them on the War Thunder forums like a true gentleman.
I swear these people know no opsec
This is fucktard level, tho.
Are you talking about the soldier or the redditor?
soldier
Both probably
Classic Reddit.
We did it Reddit!
To be fair, the orcs would have shelled schools anyway. Especially if they aren’t abandoned
I would avoid dehumanizing the people you disagree with. It prevents any real understanding of the situation beyond “Russians are evil”.
It also distances you from the reality of it. Human beings just like you are capable of this level of cruelty, and you’ve got to wrestle with that.
That’s funny, I visited Russia years ago, their nickname for Moscow was literally Mordor…
A soldier singlehandedly got multiple safe zones exposed via Facebook.
