This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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...
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.
