BERLIN — A U.S. Army airborne exercise in Germany is attracting more than a million viewers on social media after a video surfaced showing a Humvee breaking free of its rigging and plummeting to the ground, followed by another — and another.

By Friday afternoon, the video posted on the Facebook group U.S. Army W.T.F.! Moments had 1.5 million views.

The scene starts serenely as equipment is dropped by parachute April 11 from planes with the 173rd Airborne Brigade flying across blue skies until the first Humvee breaks free and crashes to the ground and someone yells out, "Oh yes!"

It's followed by a second and then a third Humvee crashing to the ground and increasing laughter on the video.

The Army says nobody was hurt, and it's investigating what went wrong — and who shot the video.

the united states provides their critics' line for them on the panama job by when they investigate "leaked" material and when they investigate the leaker.

that last post wasn't any kind of deep insight but more a reminder to the pessimistic that people in the united states are remarkably dumb about this whole area and almost no one else is fooled.

the modern US has never engaged in a fair symmetrical military conflict with an equally matched opponent because they know that no matter how much money they dump into the military industrial complex they'll never be able to stop their soldiers from running around like keystone cops slam dunk smashing their own equipment, holding their guns backwards and shooting themselves in the face.
