You think militaries across the world would start implementing harsher punishments against soldiers bringing phones into warzones recording their warcrimes while fortnite dancing. (hexbear.net)

But it seems like every fucking day there’s a new video of drones blowing up cars, snipers shooting kids, POW’s getting murdered. Generals should have known that letting cameras on a battlefield was a bad idea since Vietnam. Now personally I think it’s good this stuff is being documented, not like I want it to happen or want to see it but at least there’s evidence, but I’m thinking from a warmongers perspective, why would you want footage of war to be so wildly disseminated? How hard is it to take away a phone from a soldier? I don’t know how to feel about this, I just know it’s an incredibly wide security gap that no army is willing to plug.

Dunno, I was never in the military. Though from what I understand big chunks of it are an utter shit-show at the enlisted level.
