Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it wasn't "hit" by IED lmao
A brave soldier ran up and dropped an IED in the open hatch and scorched them all
Israelis are so incompetent at ground war, they literally just all get into a tin can and sit still with the lid open, letting random people on foot just climb up onto their vehicles
It's like combined arms 101. You need infantry watching the tank's side and rear to prevent people from walking right up to it and doing exactly what you just described. The tank then uses its armor to protect the infantry who can hide behind it.
I guess when you rely on video games to train your tank crews, they get used to third person cameras lmao
Just for context, there was an airstrike ordered nearby so SOP mandates infantry remounts into armored vehicles for protection against shrapnel.
With that being said, yeah, obviously people fucked up operationally, and they should have had some kind of situational awareness, but, they weren’t just like chilling. They were sheltering in place for a couple minutes.
With the lid wide open so they could catch a breeze?
They've never faced discomfort once in their pampered lives, so obviously they can't get claustrophobic for a few minutes!
