        To be fair, the actual posters are probably boring office types. They might even outsource a lot of it to India or Russia lmao.

        The pictures in this thread are mainly troops training with sims (I don't think you need a steering wheel for twitter). You can also see what looks like Arma running on one of the computers and the one with just one dude is looking at maps if Iraq.
