A colleague of mine, who spent several years with the Bundeswehr is 
fond of telling the following story (mid-1980's): 

Night exercise.
He is on a observation post with an old Unteroffizier (NCO).
Along come a bunch of US Army types in Jeeps/Humvee vehicles. Lights 
blaring, music at full blast. 
Unteroffizier: "******-Amis!"
My colleague: "But they wouldn't behave like that in a real war ?"
Unteroffizier: "Don't bet on that!"
