I've rarely seen Wikipedia lie as overtly as this, usually it's more subtle and done by omission. They are straight up erasing history and making shit up. I remember for a fact these mercenary group was present in Syria and they were getting killed by Russian mercenaries, I saw a video of one getting sledgehammered in the knee. Now they are just pretending it's a radical clothing brand that travels to Syria and Ukraine.
Forward Observations Group, (nicknamed FOG), is a military lifestyle brand[1][2] founded by former U.S. Army infantryman Derrick Bales, that sells tactical gear and branded accessories and operates "popular military lifestyle social media channels" on Instagram[3] and YouTube.[4] The group has traveled to Ukraine, Iraq, and Syria to make connections with local fighters there and to shoot photo and video from the Russian invasion and Syrian civil war.
Military lifestyle "brand"? It's a mercenary company that you pay to do violence. It's thugs for hire. They go to warzones to "make connections with local fighters" like Azov and ISIS huh?
Literally nothing about Syria or Iraq, that section is completely omitted.
They mention in Ukraine sometimes they were seen with guns in backs of cars going to conflict areas in the Donbas. Weird huh, that a "lifestyle brand" would do that?
Then they say the Wagner sledgehammering FOG patch comes from an unrelated case of a treasonous Russian prisoner Yevgeny Nuzhin. They fail to mention what it actually is a reference to, Russians in Syria sledgehammering these FOG fucks to death because they fight alongside ISIS. I witnessed one such video, which I won't link here (don't even know where to find this) you will have to take my word for it. Good riddance scum. Owned so hard that they dissolved as a mercenary company and went underground to pretend they are a fucking clothing brand, scrubbing their entire portfolio from the internet.
Oh yeah and they're fighting on behalf of Israel doing genocide in Gaza too. Weird for a fucking CLOTHING BRAND.
I saw this not too long ago when I read something awful and was trying to figure out who FOG was.. this made it all the more confusing
