Videos
I have no idea where this video originated, but it is entertaining. OK, that’s not true. It’s not entertaining, it is really f*&%#?@! funny. Well, if you are a civilian you may not understand why it is funny, but if you are a soldier or veteran who has ever had explosives in his hands, you will probably chuckle. Oh, if you are offended by crude f*&%#?@! language, plug your ears.
Below is our growing collection of digital video clips of
Delta Company in Action. There are also many videos from when we were
