| #1 At some point all soldiers need training that they should never, ever "put someone out of their misery", in what they think is an act of kindness, because invariably they will get it wrong. Perhaps the silliest version of this was a soldier who was K.O.'ed by an enemy bullet that grazed his skull. Bleeding profusely from the minor head skin wound, he looked like a mess, so another soldier decided that he was mortally, and horribly wounded. So he decided to shoot him. But right then the wounded soldier woke up, moved the gun barrel away, and punched the "helpful" soldier on the nose, breaking it. In a fit of instinctual rage, "the bloody mess" then went chasing and cursing after the soldier with blood pouring from his nose, offering to beat the heck out of him, and leaving everyone else in the unit in a state of WTF? |
