What Makes Grunts Smile
by Keith Nightingale
SWJ Blog Post | May 12, 2017 - 12:02pm
Most people who have not been a Grunt in combat, they do not appreciate what makes a Grunt smile or what passes for amusing. Or understand it even less. It’s always the simple things that both elude and horrify the outside viewer or reader that are accepted as common-place and good by those that are “real.”
The YouTube/video death squad/pyro up the gazoo crowd constantly bombards itself with self-gratification gun slinging and repetitive spray and pray scenarios with satisfactory gouts of blood and exploded body parts. But that is not what life is like on the cutting edge and is a very unrealistic approach to mortal confrontations.
