This one's always struck me as funny because of the dialogue… Those Krauts are outside of Kunduz for artillery familiarisation; the PzH2000's back at the camp fire inert training shells. They don't contain any explosives, but carry enough energy to actually destroy a light armoured vehicle.

Soldier 1: "F*** me! Are they out of their mind?"​

Soldier 2: (giggles)​

CO via radio: "Cease fire, cease fire, cease fire!"​

Soldier 2: "I've got it on tape!​

Soldier 3: (laughs) "Holy shyte."​

Soldier 1: (bossy) "That smoke is toxic, just so you know."​

Soldier 2: "Yeah… whatever."​

CO via radio: "Did you copy? You've heard me, right?"​

Soldier 2: (giggles incredulously)​

Soldier 1: "Those mo—"​

FO via radio: "Mark, you know there's another two coming, right?"​

Soldier 2: "Get down!" (slams the door)​

(shells make impact, everyone's laughing)​

Soldier 1: "Where was— Just down there, in the gunnery range."​

CO via radio: "Alright, guys, that was the last one."​

FO via radio: (indignant) "I was unable to process your message!"​

CO via radio: "Right. Anyway, it was the last one, hold fire now."​

Artillery via radio: "What's going on, anyway?"​

Soldier 1: (sarcastically) "You've missed our truck by like ten meters, that's what was going on!"​

CO via radio: "One fell out of the sky—"​

Soldier 1: (sarcastically) "Something's fallen out of my arse, too!"​

CO via radio: "—it impacted like, I don't know, 20 meters ahead of us."​

Soldier 2: (exiting) "I've got it all on tape. Was right here."​

My drill instructor once told me: "You know why our gear is green, right? Because we've learnt to derive humour from things that make normal people turn green in the face."
