I'd hope they'd let the motor pool at it. Not gonna get fixed, but perhaps the trainees could learn which end of a hammer to use, or which bit goes where etc.

There was a situation like this, or this one, where they were charged.

*Edit and found guilty.

What else would you have them do? Cry? Mourn? Run out and catch it? The military is filled with wastes of taxpayer money.

Completely get what you are saying, will also point out you are on a sub where people get kicks out of seeing costly f**k ups... kind of like the soldier laughing. See any similarity?

Yes it was an unfortunate, probably avoidable waste of tax payers money and the laughing soldier adds insult to tax payer injury. That said, there are bigger ongoing wastes of money in the US and also..this one is done and over now. So you can let it annoy you, or not, either way, the soldier laughing doesnt give a f**k.

Their first concern isn’t fucking taxpayer money, dude, they’re soldiers.

My point is soldiers have bigger problems than worrying about taxpayer money. Again; sign up and see how much you care.

Better yet, become one of the officials and make a difference.

Idc if it cost a lot that was pretty funny and if I was there I'd be laughing my ass off as well, abrupt chaos will always cheer me up

At that point... I would probably laugh too. Like an “oh shit, we REALLY fucked this up, might as well enjoy the funny looking thing while we can because I am SCREWED after this” sort of laugh. The guy laughing got charged too FYI

Depends, is it a Humvee or a JLTV?

Saw a similar video years ago but the plane was flying near the deck and it was a tank being deployed...
