This is SO STUPID as to make me suspicious...
Unfortunately, some soldiers just do plain old dumb a** stupid stuff. This is an instance where they went from d-a to dispicable. After 20 years in the Army and working with the Army for another 20 years as a civilian, I don’t doubt it is authentic.
Go to war for decades on end, expect your military to collapse into chaos.
Yeah this seems a little too contrived. For example the two guys on the right hugging as if some leftist was trying to make a comment on gays in the military.
