My cousin raided some house and captured some dudes in iraq. One wouldn't stop yelling shit in arabic so he hit him in the jaw with his gun until his jaw bone broke
One time I shit in an ammo can and threw it into a ditch. On the way back there was some hadji kid wearing the ammo can on his head like a helmet.
