The Germans spared no expense to the Allied Invasion, repelling even the lightest of scout units with deadly anti-tank weaponry. The famous PaK 40 AT gun was used quite effectively against anything armored more heavily than a Willy's Jeep.

Not every US force intervention ends without bloodshed. In this picture we see the end result of a firefight between US Army and local insurgents. No US servicemen were harmed in the taking of this picture.

MARSOC rescues @WOC Derr and @CW4 Whelan from a goat-snuff porn filmshoot starring two AMERICAN AIRMEN ™



GySgt Specter: "This bucket smells like air force."
2ndLt Kardnal: Well it's marked Navy, so I bet it's imported lube.
GySgt Specter: "Rear admiral joke."



Later, same training:

(in vehicle)
GySgt Specter: You guys (aviators) smell horrible.
CW4 Whelan: At least we don't smell like disappointment, and a lack of dignity
WOC Derr: Got 'eem.
2ndLt Kardnal: Must be hard to smell that through all that silicon.
WOC Derr: Uh huh, you Marines always carry crayons in your vest?
2ndLt Kardnal: Yeah. They're for downed aviators. To doodle how you lost your airframe. Like afghan kids and snickers.
