Also, yesterday I learned that whenever I have a great idea about how to more efficiently destroy the enemy, it’s always a good idea to just give it a quick Google and make sure it’s not a listed war crime already.

I think the Geneva convention might need a little reviewing. though “oh so dropping fentanyl laced packs of cigarettes from drones is a war crime? Oooooh well excuse me for being so generous and considerate that my first instinct is to let free cigarettes and drugs rain down on from my enemies from the sky.“ “Guess I’ll have to just to go back to dropping them off care packages of grenades but with the pins removed”.

When your enemy drifts off into a painless, didn’t even know what happened to him sleep, which is then followed by a painless death:

🚨 🚨🚨🚨

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!!

👮👮👮👮🏾‍♂️”I’m glad you ladies showed up after the fact. If you had witnessed how painlessly, and without suffering those men were just killed, let’s just say that is a sight my mind will never forget.”

When you use a drone to drop an anti-tank mine on an enemy trench, blowing the face of the nearest Russian out of the back of his head like Lord Voldemort:

👮👮👮👮🏾‍♂️” good aim son, however if you go a little more to the front of the enemy next time, you’ll cause the enemy you’re attacking the same injury, but while simultaneously blowing his dick out the back of his ass as well. It’s much more humane but both are good shoots”.

“Good shoot good shoot”

“ Yup that was clean, almost a textbook clean shoot. I didn’t see issues there, any chance you’re former law enforcement?”

FIN

**To those who aren’t clear yet this is all parody and I do understand why you can’t drop poison weapons over the battlefield, even if the death is less violent.

Hello All,

It is I , your sanctioned unofficial representative of the SubReddit. I will remain nameless for now as I do not yet have a callsign, as I am still not yet an inducted member of the AFU. You may call me by my username MountainOne (or anything really, as long as it’s nice). (Or not nice), but then I will be not nice to you too (if you’re into that sort of thing).

Anyways, what are we talking about again? Oh yes, my old friend, the Faux Paux.

Now, I don’t know how travelled any of you are, dear readers. Personally, I am not the most worldly man myself, however, I remember clearly during one of my life canon events in my early 20s (one many young men share), it’s the canon event where you meet a foreign girl and then chase her across the world back to her country, and then try to figure out how to marry her and bring her home, good times.

Anyways, getting back on track, I remember when I followed her (with her asking me to, don’t worry it was not a stalker situation) back to her home country. It was the first time I had ever left my home country, and it was the first time I realized that everyone around the world are not just like the people are back home. I do not have enough hands, fingers feet or toes to count every single time I accidentally offended somebody or made myself look like an idiot simply by just behaving like people normally behaved in my home country. Because it turns out: who would’ve thought? What might be normal for your country is offensive or embarrassing somewhere else.

I share this story with you, dear readers, in the hopes of soliciting some information from those of you who have either spent some time serving with the armed forces of Ukraine, or those of you who have spent time in some form of Ukrainian civilian volunteer corps, or even those of you who just have spent some considerable time living in Ukraine as a foreigner and learning to navigate this new (to you) culture.

I’m hoping that those of you who are brave enough to admit the times you made yourself look dumb , are you able to tell your story and help countless foreigners following your footsteps avoid these pitfalls, these faux-pauxs.

Just remember, please, the rules of the sub Reddit: do not council or give out advice without being verified by our dear leader u/Next_Exercise6852 as someone who is or was a soldier, volunteer, or resident in Ukraine. Also, verified users, please only give advice on topics that are within your classification (civilian corps don’t give army advice. Soldiers, don’t give advice on how to get a job in Zelenskyy’s office etc). Obviously non-in countries specific knowledge you may possess could be added to the conversation, but understand this is one of the biggest Gray areas so do not be surprised if the comment is scrutinized and determined to be requiring removal as any thing that can be tied to UKR it’s probably going to be considered as breaking the rules. Honestly, it’s hard to not break the rules and stay enough on topic. But goddamnit you should try. I know I do.

In this thread, however, everyone is welcome to contribute if sharing a story, however, please mind OPSEC, and try to keep the stories about yourself. If you want to tell a story about something you saw someone else do: either A) reach out to them, clear it with it them first, be ready to have proof that they consented to the story being told. Or, B) keep the story so anonymous not even their own mother could guess it was about them. However, I’m gonna say if you are brave enough to admit the time you did something dumb, mad respect. It’s hard to do that, especially in front of a bunch of strangers.
