There are still good people serving. Not many, but they do exist.

A good friend is Navy EOD.

During his adventure in Kosovo, he got a school assignment.

Here is the crazy thing people have no clue of.

That war?

We were protecting muslims while russia protected the Christians.

Insane.

Anyway, my buddy got a call that a swing set was rigged with a motion trigger bomb.

Sit on swing and die.

Normally what EOD does is just blow everything up, but my buddy was like, fuck this.

If we blow it up, no playground for the kids.

So, he diffused it.

True story.

His rank when he did that crazy thing?

Lt. Commander
