- knowinglyignorant. I was deployed to Iraq in 2004. A few months into our tour my friend gets two weeks leave, he was assigned as the gunner on my Lt’s Humvee.
- Vox_Invisibilis. I have several, but I’ll go with a story from the barracks since that seems to be a common theme. I had just finished going through the training process for my MOS, and had returned to my battalion’s barracks before going to another school.
- Cleffer. NSFW – Had a new guy join the unit a week before we left for six months in Okinawa. Found out our new Marine was a virgin. A few guys pitched in money to get him laid in a whore house.
- OCDforMe. Any night in infantry barracks is the craziest story. We once had a guy shoot a deer with a bow on base (not legal where he was at) and bring it back to the barracks.

In what might be one of the strangest incidents to ever occur in aviation history, a Soviet MiG-23 fighter jet flew unmannedall the way from Poland to Belgium. Once it ran out of fuel, the plane hurtled into a home, killing a teenage occupant. The fiasco began on July 4, 1989, when the pilot, Colonel Skurigin, saw the afterburner appear to fail dur...
Before American forces finally sunk it during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Japanese battleship Musashi was a menacing sight to behold. As one of the two largest and most powerful battleships ever built (the other one being her sister ship Yamato), the Musashi boasted a displacement of over 65,000 metric tons (72,000 tons) when fully armed and poss...
As we’ve found out before, the British have their fair share of spectacular military blunders throughout history. In an effort to regain lost glory and avenge the rude treatmenttheir diplomats suffered in Spain, the British sent a force of 10,000–15,000 men on more than 80 ships to invade the Spanish city of Cadiz in 1625. Although terrifying on pa...
In 2002, two dozen British marines on a training exercise stormed a beach they mistakenly thought to be in Gibraltar. As it turned out, they came ashore on a beach resortin La Linea, Spain instead. The marines only realized their mistake after the locals and two policemen informed them they were in the wrong place. The British later attributed the ...
Apparently, tales of people inadvertently sinking their own ships aren’t limited to the British or the Swedes. With the European theater of World War II drawing to a close, crewmembers of the Bahia—a Brazilian cruiser stationed northeast of Brazil to protect Allied convoys—practiced a live-fire anti-aircraft drill using a kite towed behind the ship...
It’s suicidal to just charge a well-entrenched enemy on higher ground, but someone must have forgotten to tell Philip Sheridan in 1863. The Union general and his men had just secured the first line of Confederate trenches during the Battle of Missionary Ridge when he suddenly whipped out a flask and toasted the defenders high above the ridge. The C...
We remember Hannibal as one of history’s most successful tacticians, who proved to be more than a match for the Romans several times in his career. Hannibal’s military genius could be attributed to his unconventional strategies, such as crossing the Alps with his army in 218 B.C. However, according to the Roman historians Polybius and Livy, Hanniba...
The Battle of Goose Green, set during the Falklands War, would be remembered primarily for two things: as the first and most bloody land battle between the UK and Argentina and as the incident where the BBC opened its mouth too soon. Secretly landing near the settlement, British soldiers had prepared for a surprise night attack on the Argentine for...
The “Hawaiian good luck sign” wasn’t the only way imprisoned members of the USS Puebloundermined their North Korean captors’ propaganda. Their captain, Lloyd Bucher, also did his best to ridicule his tormentors. Although initially resistant to write a “confession of wrongdoing,” even after enduring several beatings and mock executions, Bucher final...
Perhaps no other ship in the US navy can ever surpass the tragicomic history of the William D. Porter and its crew. Its unenviable resume included wrecking a sister ship with its anchor, friendly-firing another one, and accidentally shooting a live round into a base commander’s front yard. However, all these incidents paled in comparison to the tim...
