I love the...probably a sgt?.... standing on the hum-vee "you didn't tighten the barrel back up did you"



I'd have been fighting the urge to look at him and go, "thank you for that sgt. obvious". How do you explain that one on paper work.......


"out on patrol, stopped to clear guns and had...malfunction of M2....no idea why, barrel flew off gun, immediate investigation into possible defect in design needed.....an no I don't care that the design is 60+ years old....."
