Along a similar vein...
Occasion: Major firepower demonstration...combined arms to include Tac Air....artillery....mortars...gunships...right down to pistols....and other deadly weapons like Lieutenants with maps...
Bleachers full of VIP's in fine military regalia....in the middle of all the boom banging....long range artillery, Cobra shooting rockets....50 cals...40mm dusters...and one very grizzly, sleeve full of chevrons....Special Forces NCO...chain launching mortar rounds from a pit immediately in front of the grand stand...and not very far away from it at all....
Said Sarge...experiences a misfire on his mortar...dud round...sitting in the tube making like a boat anchor. Reverting to his many years in combat...ol' Sgt Rock grabs the mortar tube...yanks it up an over his shoulder...and dumps the offending dud round onto ground behind the parapet....and immediately in front of the viewing VIP's. Four rounds later, ol' Rock, distracted by the Chinese Fire Drill and Parliment Meeting going on behind him...realizes what he has done. Master Card for those special moments!
