Found this funny one by Googling a similar string:

SOLDIER SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE: FUNDAMENTALS OF TACTICAL INFORMATION COLLECTION: https://www.scribd.com/document/99352146/FM-2-91-6-Soldier-S...

Ever wonder how to "interact with the local populace" when you travel somewhere? Well, here's how it's done:

    - Be prepared to discuss your personal interests (hobbies, books, travel).
    - Be sensitive to your body language.
        -> Smile as long as it is appropriate.
        -> Avoid sitting with your arms crossed.
        -> Do not show the bottom of your feet in an Arabic  culture.
        -> Keep your hands away from your mouth.
        -> Lean forward and nod.
        -> Make frequent eye contact (if culturally  appropriate).
    - Use the person's name, position title, rank, and/or other verbal expressions of respect.
    ...

    - Remember, a person's favorite topic is himself
    ...

Your argument doesn't hold: who was the person that uploaded the document? That person is hireable as a spy.

From one of the opening pages:

You can only hope that the uploader is who they say they are...

You are not committing a crime or doing anything special by finding and sharing this information (/unless/ you are read in to whatever program may or may not require one to protect it).

The crime was performed by the performed leaker.
