I don't think they were trying to capture the "general tone" but a pervasive idea that kept coming up in the comments. When I saw the headline, the first thing I thought about was this thread and "all the comments" talking about 3D chess false flag moves. Not the majority, not the overall sentiment, but just a significant number of eye rolling comments.
That is exactly the point the linked comment makes. It is in agreement with you on that. Fatigues like the one on the image he shared are easy to come by. This is what the comment says and this is what you say.

There is no conspiracy theory in the linked comment. It just says that they believe the perpatrator is not really in the military just pretending to be. That is hardly a conspiracy theory.
