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

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 68 points 1 year ago

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...

On the contrary, when war lasts a long time you only have trained soldiers left

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

The important word that you seem to have skipped is "properly"

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 28 points 1 year ago

Eh, it can be both. The soldier shouldn't have posted his location online, but neither should the Redditor have reposted it in public.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 100 points 1 year ago

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

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

This is fucktard level, tho.

[-] TheBlue22 42 points 1 year ago

To be fair, the orcs would have shelled schools anyway. Especially if they aren't abandoned

[-] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago

I would avoid dehumanizing the people you disagree with. It prevents any real understanding of the situation beyond "Russians are evil".

[-] Pixelguin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

That's funny, I visited Russia years ago, their nickname for Moscow was literally Mordor...

We did it Reddit!

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

A soldier singlehandedly got multiple safe zones exposed via Facebook.
