    Is this image real? Are those guys so badass that they just chit chat while this massive munition explodes behind them? Are they so desensitized?

    I’d probably defecate a little bit everytime that gun went off…

      Month 1 of the mortar alarms going off you go to the nearest shelter and sit until the all clear.

      Month 3 you go to your room first, or if already there you take your time getting some snacks and a cell phone or gameboy to pass the time.

      Month 5 you don’t even bother leaving your room unless your unit is known to have someone check trailer to trailer.

        Month 7 you get so fed up with the mortar alarm that you go AWOL just to hunt down and slaughter the prick whos launching them.

        Month 9 you are now the mortar guy.
