GoPro footage released by an unknown unit from the Ukrainian armed forces captures the perspective of a squad-sized Ukrainian unit taking cover from a Russian artillery strike that is impact nearby.

I don't know why, but this video throws off Lt. Vick's theory of relativity vibes.

"To most people in Kyiv, the front-line is a dangerous place. Now, if I were to stand up, I might get killed, but to us, behind this piece of micro-terrain, it's pretty safe. So to us, behind this piece of dirt, the front-line is a pretty safe place. I feel safe, do you feel safe?"

"Pretty safe, I guess.

"See, it's all relative."

Just a quick public service announcement: Some of you may have noticed Google Chrome or Firefox throwing up some crazy red flag warnings yesterday (7/14/2023) about our site being unsafe. Our development team squared away that issue this morning. It was nothing to be concerned about from a user perspective.
