Any funny war stories to tell?

c_Question Mark  Any funny war stories to tell?
I was wondering if those of you who have served have any funny antidotes you would like to share? We have all had goofy things happen to us in the field or garrison, so I thought it might add some comedy to the ladder.

If you would like to post a war story go ahead. Here are one or two to get started:

While deployed to Germany the RCD's (Royal Canadian Dragoons) had a certain major in charge of a Leopard squadron. Well during one advance in Germany this major decided to advance the entire squadron (18 tanks) across a farmers corn field, flattening it. It goes without saying that the farmer was incredibly mad but in the end made off better, for the Cdn gov't paid him the crop value. This effectively ended this majors rise through the ranks, and since then anyone serving in his squadron is known as "CHILDREN OF THE CORN".

It was also on this exercise that this same major became very frustrated with the WGer "enemy force". It seems the enemy force refused to play the game and die when reported hit and destroyed by their Cdn opponents. To solve this problem this major parked his Leopard between two houses and loaded a blank 105mm round in the spout. Then as a marder drove by he fired the gun, blowing the crews headphones and helmets off and giving them all good nose bleeds. There was no doubt, this enemy unit was "dead". Boy did he get crap for that, but it was pretty damn funny and solved the problem.

Anyone else have anything to share?
