Cambodian clown show of combat

Between the ongoing Cambodia-Thailand fight, as well as the Myanmar/Burma conflict, there is some kind of Southeast Asia cultural trait where the participants in the combat footage would rather record themselves in a selfie video than document the actual battles occurring around them. It's likely some sort of narcissism associated with the TikTok generation in which they perceive themselves as the main character. The problem with that is when you look like a complete fucking idiot, such as the soldiers in this video. The soldier nearest to the camera dances around unnecessarily as he fires his weapon. The butt stock is extended, but he doesn't shoulder the rifle. In fact, he doesn't even aim his rifle, he just holds it out in front of him like some average Joe off the street that's never held a weapon in his life. In addition to that he unnecessarily crosses the open threshold exposing himself to enemy fire... but let's be real here. There is likely no enemy fire, these clowns are just putting on a show for social media and using the ongoing conflict to boost their viewership, which again, perceives them as useless oxygen thieves rather than effective fighting men. Although this conflict between two warring nations has been highly publicized, the actual execution of it has been anything but effective by either side. We are now nearing a week in and the kill count for all sides combined, including civilians, is estimated to be 15-25. So what exactly are they doing out there? Oh yeah, dancing around like morons.
