I’m not sure ambition is the right descriptor here. It reads more like an old school bully group of kids taking actions that appeal to their social group. Followed by a fist bump or a snide shrug.

Or the new-ish paramedic who intubates for the point, having never done the procedure before, only to have the patient extubated in the ER after they complete the drop off and leave. That’s not quite right as an analogy, but this ICE behavior seems to exist between this and the bully group of school kids performing for one another.
