Pvt. Claymore never had to worry about a fellow soldier stealing his cap.

The Marines saw a need to improve their proven Mine Detection method of wearing show shoes and dribbling a basketball as the Rock's new deployment system would not be detected by the current system.

Yes, Sarge, Gunner Tomkins keeps sneaking up behind me and slapping me round the ears. Next time he does it, I'll blow his bl**£y hands off!

The Safety Mafia was all upset....Jones had not donned a hard hat to protect his head from injury by the Claymore's sharp legs upon detonation of the Mine.

The present-day "peaked cap" (not illustrated) is ideal for keeping the sun out of the soldier's eyes. Here we see an effective but excessively heavy predecessor on the left, and a less effective but much lighter experimental model on the right.

After hearing the click of the trigger, Bruce turned to see what the noise was. That soon wiped the smile off Barry's face.

Sarge, do you think they've taken this reactive armour thing a step too far?

The psychologist came up with a great scheme to discourage Bruce from head banging.

I heard a click. I think I'm on a mine.
