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.
call me old fashioned but i wouldnt let anyone in my military have personal communication devices, period.
i think this comes from poorly organized/disciplined forces, AFU and IOF are afraid of mass desertion/insubordination if they crack down too hard, and the actual organization is janky enough personal phones can help, see Ukrainian artillery aiming with an app
but is this as much of a problem with Russia and the US?
The US has repeatedly told soldiers to stop using fitness tracking apps among many others bc it’s sending detailed information about movements on military bases to various companies.
fitness tracking app? whatever happened to sergeants making sure their units were fit?
Those are personal fitness tracking apps. People use them for training and tracking their progress.
It makes numbers from the fitness that makes the brain tickle the good good…
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.
