Miles R: The 4chan Afghanistan Man

Has anyone else seen the news about this 21 year old British kid traveling to Afghanistan a few days ago? Story is probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen but I've been following it intensely ever since. Miles if you're on this site I hope you survive but your choice of traveling to Kabul (TWO DAYS before the takeover) just for internet points is probably the most on-the-spectrum move I've witnessed in my entire life.
