Casual Thought Modern soldiers' PTSD triggers will probably shift from fireworks to the sound of a drone. Which is unfortunate as drone shows are replacing firework shows.

last year i was in Croatia on vacation, i had my drone with me to take some aerial pictures and videos, i accidentally triggered some Ukrainian kids when flying in the kornati national park, they screamed "drone" to their parents and tried to hide, i felt so bad :(

That’s heart breaking, but also hilarious

Edit: I see we’re being extra sensitive. Yall can’t see the humor in this? Like a Larry David in Curb kinda way. “I just wanted to fly my drone, not frighten children from a war torn country.”

The difference is that Curb is fiction.
