Might not be so obvious to a soldier who has slept one hour a night for the past two weeks, eaten only canned corn and tuna, hasn't gotten ammo replenishment in days, and is watching this video on a tiny cracked screen with a dying battery with the volume very low as the internet connection fades in and out.
Plus, several passes of lossy video compression.
"imo" is the right word. Majority of people that are not so computer literate will think it is real.
