If this is the "worst" the troops can come up with to let off some steam, bless their hearts.

I'd be a little daffy in that shite situation too, don't begrudge them anything.

@ all the bitching little whiners: Next time you put YOUR ass in harm's way, you can begrudge your fellow men blowing off a little steam any way you like. Until then, kindly STFU. Thank you.

Amen Xinavera. These blokes are only trying to have fun in a shytehole environment they had no choice in going to. They are making the best out of some other fool's decisions.

Seriously why do u guys read websites like neatorama.com that focuses on funny stuff that isn't always "necessary"? I completely agree with Roger and eemaas here.

That was pretty funny.

This is interesting. Neatorama blogs on the lighter side of life, yet so many of its readers act as if they have lemons in their sphincters when it comes to supposed "waste". If its a cheese sculpture, its guaranteed that 3 people will express moral outrage that the cheese wasn't donated to the poor and needy. If its a Large Hadron collider, surely the money could have been donated to the poor and needy. The trolls of Neatorama are all Debbie Downers, who begrudge any form of playfulness.

I never understood the ghost-riding the whip fad, but hey I'm not 19 years old. VonSkippy, as you sit with your calculator tallying the tax insult these fellows have rendered you, realize that they are putting in 10 hour days in that vehicle, busting their asses in 130 degree heat, and dealing with the possibility of being blown to smithereens or otherwise mangled at any moment. Try to find room in your stony heart to allow them a moment of merriment.

By the way, my grandfather was in WWII, and I can assure you that clowning together helped build unit cohesion and helped us win that war.

Never heard of ghost-riding before. What a stupid concept. I don't begrudge them their silliness - it just seemed a little ... odd.

And what mooning?

Nice to see my tax dollars at work in the hands of jackasses.

Furthermore, I really hope no one above those Marines sees this. They could be in a lot of trouble.

Good to see it's not all fun and games out there on the battlefield and when required our guys can really get down to the serious job in hend.

Our tax dollars are being pissed away by the clowns that sent these blokes over there in the first place. I don't begrudge the troops a little fun here and there.

wow how did that get past the troll filter?

Actually, the Americans in WWII had the advantage of being less rigidly trained, so they were more able to improvise in fluid situations (such as D-Day).

Plus, what tax dollars did they waste? The dollar of JP-8 it took them to do it?

Anyway, I've never heard that called an MRAP, just a Buffalo.

Your tax dollars being pissed away by these clowns.

If these morons were "your" team in WWII the Germans would have won the war.
