The Funniest Moments from the Military All Over the World

Thinking of military, weapons and wars, we usually imagine serious, life-threatening conditions, pain, hurt and danger. All the more precious then, are the rare moments of humour and even hilarity - during the drill, in the field, and even in combat. This is a long-overdue celebration of life's lighter side in the middle of these harsh realities.

Don't miss the previous parts: Life in the Military, Awesome Military and Police Can Be Intense (Funny Pics).

The End of the "Tank Bling"

This is actually the monument to Soviet WW2 Army in Prague (a part of the old Soviet T-34 tank). Interesting thoughts come to mind...

Police Riding in Style

We saw some totally weird and tricked-out police cars in the previous parts of our series - including some pretty powerful "Ferrari" and "Lamborghini". There are many more to show, however - it seems that every big city (at least in China) has some incredible police cars to be proud of:









Size does not matter:

Interactions with police... can be hilarious sometimes (but mostly, they're not)

"What did I do wrong, officer?" - "Here, let me explain..." -
