    I imagine this person knows this and like many soldiers is just trying to enjoy a brief moment of fun.

    Edit: also the casual sexualization of her in this thread is disappointing but I’ve been on Lemmy long enough to not be surprised. Sad that casual sexism prevails even in leftist spaces.

      I imagine her actual job is in PR and she was chosen specifically to be attractive and make men go “hey, there are hot cat girls in the army?;??!”

        No they actually fight. Most of these women have videos of being in combat and some have died. The idea that pretty women are only in uniform as a PR thing needs to die in a fire.

          Doesn’t mean she wasn’t chosen by PR for her appearance. Still can be a capable soldier.

            Yes but so many people are running with the idea that pretty women in the military are just PR for recruiting. Which is reductive to their actual service.

              Both can exist, you’re probably more likely to see the PR ladies online since their military will be pushing their visibility

                Yeah no. They’re going to have day jobs in the military. Unless you’re creating a literal TV ad.

                  You seriously think that they wouldn’t cart a crew to a captured town behind the front lines for a photoshoot?

                    Why when they can just send one guy with a camera?

              You got a downvote from a guy who thinks Ukrainian women like dying in war for attention.

      I mean, it does break up her outline anyone seeing her would pause for a second.

      I wouldn’t recommend it, but its also not something we recognize instantly as a combatant.

          More like kitty cornershot- pun not intended nor avoided.

          Just different enough to make someone stop and think “wait, what”
