I've been enjoying this manga since day 1, but to be honest I would like to see more of Itami's adventures/shenanigans or more of the special region's internal conflicts like the siege at the Jade Palace. All of this "haha JSDF go boom" is starting to get stale.

Your first two statements contradict each other. Their work is not in vain as people will most likely choose to read their translation instead of the one-off by the other group. There is absolutely zero reason to get upset over this unless you are actively making money for being...
I fail to see how "being sniped" is invalidating a person's work. You can still do your translation and publish it for everyone to enjoy. Either they are doing this for the quick views or they have the maturity of a 12 year old.
