I don't know how to help, and that's a shame. It's a wonderful anphibious landing by the French...

It looks like they landed in exactly the wrong spot.

How are these guys "French"? They look like American Marines, the uniforms look like our cammies and the "fritz" helmets look like ours too, plus they seem to be carrying M-4 carbines. Maybe not our troops, could be Iraqi trainees in US uniform but they all have a clean shave. They sure picked the wrong beach! Doesn't that look like a dredge in the background, maybe the spoils were being dumped on the "beach".

I guess it was pretty funny, now it would have been a real riot if someone had been shooting at them while they were rolling around in the mud.

You have a strange idea of funny if it involves poking fun at US Marines. I can think of safer pastimes, like playing "keep-away" with a live grenade.

Strange idea of funny? I report, you don't decide...

The signature block says it all.

Settle down.

If it would have been a live fire situation, I doubt the camera would have been on them.

Do you think THEY had a laugh about it?

OK, I give up, it's NOT life or death and it is very funny.

By the way this clip as well as many other war related mpegs is at http://users.rcn.com/sitzkrieg/war/ No problems with downloads, it's listed as "MarineCommandosStuckInMud", the "JDAMboom" film is awesome as is the "gatlinggun" clip. For truly funny though, you have to see "shiite militia ricochets self", this poor Yob manages to shoot himself with a belt fed machine gun!

OK, I've followed your link and I've gone to your homepage. All in all, your stuff is pretty funny, original no, funny yes. But who died and left you to be the final arbiter of WHAT is funny? When you assert that I can't decide for myself what's funny you've taken on a load too big for anyone to carry. So let's just leave it at this, the "French" gag would have been a lot more "funny" if they had been French!
