Can a Millennial Troll Survive NATO's Biggest War Games?

In 2018 NATO, the European and North American military alliance, organised one of the biggest war games ever enacted named Trident Juncture. This massive show of force included 10, 000 vehicles, 150 aircraft and 65 ships from 28 countries all being shipped to Norway to take part. And for some reason they've allowed VICE's resident dickhead Alhan Gençay to come along for the ride. Will they be able to craft his pathetic millennial character into a noble fighting machine?

[@FlakoGordo]

Sun Tzu exactly. Clicked because it looked interesting but they just turned it into an entertainment piece

[@aritakalo8011]

Yeah. Top most thing to come to mind is "pointless". Like this is important stuff, of which one could make serious (even extremely critical and aggressive) journalism on. But instead this comic relief stuff. Which is neither very funny, nor informative. Like do they think they will have some effect by making fun of military like this? Military don't care. Heck if they are being funny guys like this, then they aren't asking the real hard questions the military rather not answer. Grunts probably had a good laugh of this guy bumming around. Escorting him probably saved them from some other assignment. Plus he is bumming around about on the plan of "Joe nobody millennial going to military" in an exercise held IN A COUNTRY AND REGION WITH CONSCRIPTION. soooo.... yeah. kinda pointless.

[@Sohave]

It could also have been god as a comedy but then again they also missed that bus.

[@mr.advocatusdiaboli1745]

This is more relevant to the UK watchers. He annoyed me until I got the act. It's not meant to be a hugely informative piece. Just a different perspective. You're not gonna learn secrets from these pieces, that's the point why the UK military allowed it.

[@Sun-Tzu-]

@@mr.advocatusdiaboli1745 I get that, but there are plenty of soldiers who are funnier than this guy, and they would know what the hell was going on. This could have been really fun *and* informative, and not just kinda funny but mostly annoying, and completely uninformative.
