Regular people here are as opposed to military servicemen. The people who did not sign up for going to war.

These are dudes, likely some of them teenagers, playing Street Fighter and Tekken.
Who signed up for what?
The network shenanigans that apparently affect the p2p gaming is allegedly by the militaries of many countries, related to the Iran war. Much like GPS disturbancs in Northern and Eastern Europe are due to the war in Ukraine. Dudes delivering pizza have to suffer them, even though they never signed up to take part in the war.
> Who
These dudes and dudettes playing video games
> what?
Military service

FWIW I don't agree with the comment chain's source, I read "regular people" as "civilians" and don't think there was any nasty connotation meant.

Civilians have died by the tens of thousands in these wars, starting long before random gamers far from the killing and dying started having connection issues
