    As a veteran, these guys seem like they’re LARP’ing. Any group that runs ops should stay as low key as virtually possible. Even with blurred faces and nicknames these guys can easily be identified by other organizations and enemies. If 4chan can find a flag in the middle of nowhere by just watching video then trust me these guys can be tracked and traced.

      Its mostly all Real veterans though it's not people pretending, they actually served and were in combat. What do you think they do in basic training is that just 'larping' also? or maybe you should reevaluate your airbrained assumptions.

    That was, by far, the absolute best CGI I have ever seen...!! And the acting y'all did...!!! Y'all were very well trained in acting, from that jump to get away from the bomb, to the leg injury...!!! You really had me believing that you were missing a leg...!! Hahaha, it gets an A+ from me...!!! Thanks for sharing...

      @@JR.4740 its kinda funny how all these arm chair veterans are claiming they have all this knowledge about black ops work but they were all just basic infantry and have never actually talked to anyone let alone done anything close to this, there are dozens of other examples of PMCs having social media and literally just blurring faces and showing pictures in locations like their "HQ" and training grounds... my neighbor who ive been friends with for almost a decade use to do contracting missions just like them after getting out and found this video amusing and enjoyable, but didnt find any reason to prove they dont do contracting work... it literally talks about how you can contact them and even meet and train with them so if youre such a professional why not go record a video showcasing your own video then one going and meeting them. or are you just a youtube expert....🤡 they arent doing hits for the CIA or deepstate
