Re: Rattling the Cage

LOL-LOL!

KARL, only one time and then the survivors-if any- would be  both older
and  wiser to the ways of war.

what your old  untieroffizier did not tell you is that in peacetime
manuevers as well as  as in combat, all armies have  soldiers who are
idiots and semi-idiots who either get killed, wounded, cause the  deaths
and injuries to others, before they wise up and learn this s for REAL!

way back in the  60s, i was all dressed up in this  lurid green combat
uniform of American  cut, wearing a red beret, and strolling through a
Bundeswehr armor laager one  winter night, happily spray painting "BOOM!
YOU ARE DEAD!" on  AFVs,  commo vehicles, fuel tankers, tents, etc.

this  was to the sounds of radios  playing  music, soldiers strolling
about  lighting up cigarettes with what looked like  hand held flame
throwers, clanking mess kits and canteens, shouted conversations, etc.

this  was sooooo the next day the judges would	have nooooo doubt what
so  ever  as to the  status of the  Bundeswehr unit when the sun came up
the next morning.

then we retired to the	forest, and awaited the uproar. . . . 

as they say in those  TV credit credit commercials, PRICELESS!

LOL!
