    As a veteran, these guys seem like they’re LARP’ing. Any group that runs ops should stay as low key as virtually possible. Even with blurred faces and nicknames these guys can easily be identified by other organizations and enemies. If 4chan can find a flag in the middle of nowhere by just watching video then trust me these guys can be tracked and traced.

This is obviously a bunch of guys glorifying a lifestyle they do not live. From the visible tattoos to the Amazon plate carriers with no plates, this is just a group role playing to be something they are not, wether they were military or not does not change the fact that the below average level of professionalism brings the truth to light.

Constellis, from their website, seems to be a conglomerate of different security companies. So in a way they did defunct just come back under a different company.
