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.

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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
