You have to be a certain kind of dense idiot to post technical documents or other factual information related to your job to strangers, especially if that is military defense related.

People posted classified info on American, British, Russia, and Chinese tanks. I think there were others.

The vehicle sim community is wild. I've never seen a community have such engrained lines. Like war thunder, many can't take being proven wrong so they gotta pull this shit.

That and the flight sim community got split because all the new games would "water down" the veterans experience with new players.

I love my community

But if I don't post classified information to the internet, how will this random guy know that he's wrong?

The article doesn't state that this ever happened. It simply states that the documents (thought to be secret) were posted online proving they weren't that secret.
