My Dad has a good story that I'll share with you guys... He was in the Navy during Vietnam on a carrier off the coast. Everyday when they sent planes and choppers inland they (the aircraft) would recieve fire from a "friendly" village just off the coast. They were not clear to engage the village soooo... they took a 50 gallon drum and welded bomb lugs onto it. They then set it on the hangar deck and everyone used it for a toilet during work hours until it filed up with all sorts of unpleasantness. Once full, a lid was welded onto it and then it was placed on a fighter headed inland. The next run inland the barrel was dropped into the village. Dad said they never received any fire from the village the whole rest of his time there. 50 gallons worth of human waste must have really ruined thier day.

Thanks, Chris. Quite a few good chuckles in there. The airborne "moon" and the co-pilot reading Penthouse are my favorites. Honorable mention to the trailed wagon with the M60 MG mounted. :up:
Humor in the military is absolutely essential. There were some days that just wouldn't have made it through without some humor to offset the situation.
