it's a bit more complicated than that. In WW I soldiers often used something like a periscope to look out across No Man's Land while in the trench, to offer you but one example of how one avoids being "blind."
They are being hit by indirect fire in that little twitvideo we see there.
Your assumptions based on a brief video clip in a discrete area betray a profound lack of understanding.
I find your criticism of those soldiers to be in very bad form.
Do please identify
1. an assumption
2.a criticism of the soldiers, as opposed to a query about the wisdom of the tactics.
