Veterans of pol, tell us a war story

My grandfather was in the military. Don't really know the details, but he was a Sergeant or something, I believe. Anyway, one night he got really bored and decided to grab a big old box of blank ammunition, climb onto the roof of the officers' mess all where some important British and Australian officers were having a dinner, and drop the box straight down through one of the windows in the roof. The box went off, he was caught and demoted, then discharged later. An Australian hero.

My father later did something similar in the Cadets, and had an incident where he panicked and shot an officer Cadet in the ass with a blank round or something during an exercise.

>where he panicked and shot an officer Cadet in the ass with a blank round or something during an exercise.
How do you panic during an exercise?

Great grandfather killed some nazis and raped some german teenagers. Not much desu. Other great grandpa survived okinawa and guadalcanal

>>134618105
Apparently they were doing some kind of exercise where they were meant to be simulating a battle, and were given blanks in their rifles because this was back in the sixties or something. He sneaked up behind an older young man who was an officer, screamed "SURRENDER" and fired his gun accidentally in the panic and excitement of actually capturing an officer. The officer, having been shot in the ass, stood up and bolted off into the distance. My uncle who was also in the Cadets confirmed this story, but it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Grandpa was in Vietnam. They kept getting harassed by VC from the nearby village. Commanding officer got pissed off and they went into this village and killed everybody in it. I mean literally, everybody.

After that, people from nearby villages heard about it and were quick to point out the VC so they wouldn't be fucking slaughtered.

Also, they were ordered to bury some 200 dead VC one time or some ridiculous amount of enemy dead. The company CO was not having that, so they literally blew them to mist with C4 or some other explosive.

They also had a skull of a NVA soldier on the front of one of their APC's.

I've never been in the military but someone shot at my truck while I was delivering amazon packages and I quit. I didn't even know they were shooting at me specifically until one of the bullets hit the rear end of my car as I was driving away.

I never even told anyone I worked with about it, I just quit

The most crazy shit from the Vietnam war had to be the tunnel rats, those guys who climbed down into tunnels with a .45 and a flashlight to clear out the gooks. Sometimes they would climb down onto a shit smeared punjee pit. Sometimes they would boobytrap them with grenades and scorpions and shit. You would have to have your goddamn balls screwed on pretty tight to go down in one of those gook holes.

>>134618665
My grandpa is the reason I did not think Gook was a racial slur til literally 2 years ago, and I'm 18, Army ROTC cadet in college. I do come from rural Tennessee and not too many people use it besides Vietnam vets, so, in my defense, it's just what I know now. Just like I didn't know nigger was a racial slur til I was 9.

I hit IED's three separate times in Mosul circa 2005 while driving.

Was picking my nose in the back of a striker when the vehicle in front of us hit a 500kg aircraft bomb in the back of a pickup. I got a bloody nose from jamming my finger up there but everyone else thought it was the blast pressure.

>>134619030

Surprised there isn't more of that considering they all breed with their cousins.

>>134619092
There's more, actually. My brother was in the Cadets when I was a young boy (he really didn't want to be) and was kicked out because he punched an older boy who was the son of one of the organising adults in charge of the whole thing, and he refused to apologise. Apparently the older boy was being a snobby little shit because his daddy was in charge, and my brother got mad and hit him in the face.

I applied for the Army but was rejected because of a congenital defect. Shame, woulda liked to have followed in the footsteps of my grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather.

When my dad was in nam during basic they gathered all the whites in a room and told them they had to give pfc to one of the niggers.

My granddad was English and served with the Royal Navy on a submarine in the Indian ocean during World War Two. He saw some other sailor get a letter from his girlfriend back home telling him that he'd been literally cucked. The poor guy tried to drown himself, and the captain wasn't stopping for his sake, so he was just left there in open water... but according to my granddad he heard later another Royal Navy boat had come along behind by chance and picked that idiot up, so he lived.

Look at this way, if the congenital defect wouldn't have gotten you the deadly wildlife of Australia would. Either way you're fucked. So take some comfort in that.

Friend of my dad's was in Nam. He was in charge of setting charges in the event that VC tried to sneak into camp at night. He would set charges all around the camp facing outward and if he heard the zips he was to detonate the charges and blast them away. Well one night he sets the charges and he hears something in the jungle. He isn't sure what is going on but he comes very close to detonating his charges, but doesn't. When morning comes the troops go around to gather the explosives and find that they have all been turned and pointed inward toward the camp. If he would have detonated them, he and all of his fellow soldiers would have probably been killed.

great grand father was in WWII

Purple Heart

Took shrapnel to his back, barely missed his spine, had to shit out of a bag for a while after that

Said in one fight he saw a german tank run over a foxhole with some boys in it or some shit about them drowning under the mud

Got to hold his side piece one day when I was like 7,.. my mom did not approve

My piece of shit uncle inherited it when he died and sold it...

IDK what kind of gun it was, was the first gun I ever held. He sat in a recliner all day with a little side desk to him all day every day. One of my last visits with him he just opens the drawer and pulls out his fucking gun and hands it to me. It was heavier than I expected. I was so shocked I had no idea what to do it was so fucking cool. I was holding a weapon that may have legitimately been used to kill people before.

Not gonna lie, I was using too much Twitter and a couple of other message boards that were pretty toxic back then and I was scared to death that was going to happen. I had let myself of too deep into that angry rabbit hole. But even some Florida sheriffs told the fed they were worried about massive civil unrest so I thought I was right to be worried.

I live in a town that just over half black and I was in a panic when the court clerk said "NOT GUILTY" and Zimmerman blinked. My housemate and her boyfriend were cheering the verdict and I was sperging out locking doors & windows in a panic. The South Park episode in which Carman thought there would be a black apocalypse nailed me to the T.

<===mfw the verdict was read.

Great grandpa fought in the first World War. He got shot through the mouth and was laying in no man's land for three days until one of his comrades got him. Got a purple heart. One of my granduncles got shot and killed in the Philippines by a Jap hiding in the trees.

Two uncles in Europe. They landed on D-Day. Both survived.
But one had a MG-42 machine gun burst tear through his winter jacket and kill his buddy right beside him.
I'm told he was never the same.
Another uncle was a tank commander in the Marines in the Pacific, had two tanks shot out from under him on Okinawa on the same day.
My dad went through boot camp and was discharged (youngest brother of 4), immediately joined the merchant marine, saw other merchant ships hit by Japanese torpedos in the South Pacific.

My grandpa fought in the Forgotten War as it has formally come to be named
He was a motor launcher armed with a m1 garand.
He got a lot of awards yet I never really looked at them.
Apparently he was a Sarg. but lost his rank due to him fucking around with the cadets.
Such as, 100 push ups in 5 minutes or else you're going to be hounded by DIs. He never did tell me war stories though, I could tell his time there was tragic. But he does have an entire book about his adventures there. He recorded everyday specifically what time its awesome. One day I will read that to full length .

This board inspired me to start saying nigger a lot more and sharing my hatred of the Jews. Literally nobody cared because everybody already hates niggers and Jews in Australia.
I got some blowback on the Gook offensive from five foot tall girls at Uni though so I quietly shelved that one.
Got a ton of support for telling everybody that transexuality is just a dick chopping scam created by the Jews to abuse White children.
Becoming a NatSoc is probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Suddenly I am edgy as fuck.
Also now that I treat girls with disdain they seem a lot more interested in me.

I put a SMAW HEDP warhead into this guys' firing position from about 200-250 meters. The dumbass let out like a 50 round spray from his RPK at my patrols maneuver element while I was already in the support-by-fire position with a rocket loaded and ready. He was shooting through a hole punched in a mud wall so the gasses following the bullet out of the barrel blew a bunch of dirt and debris out of the hole as well. It made locating his position super easy as you could clearly see a stream of dirt being blown out of a wall.

Combat engineer in afghanistan ~6 years ago.
Couple close calls with IEDs, one was hidden in a culvert and blew the entire paved road out, they just popped it a little too late as we drove over it

Saw a grunt step on one from a couple hundred meters out and lose both legs at the knee and all his fingers, we called a bird in and it got there quick as fuck and saved him. All his buddies were covered in his blood when they came back, it was sad.

Saw some haji fuck kid being carried to our doc tent that stepped on an ied (or he was planting it) who completely lost both legs and he bled everywhere, he had to have died

Had a couple rounds come within a foot or 2 of my head while in the turret. Sucks cause in real life its hard as fuck to tell where incoming fire is actually coming from. Had a mk19 in the gun and didn't light the compound i suspected up cause there were civilians everywhere and ROEs are shit and our CO didn't have our backs. Getting shot at is a pretty weird feeling.

afghanistan is a shithole

The real story of war.

My GrandDad was a truck driver on the eastern front in a division called GROSS-DEUTSCHLAND. Glad he survived the war but died around 60 when i was a toddler. Was a chain smoker, my dad (who propably heard some storys from him) used to tell me that Hitler was a criminal and stole my granddads best years.

I was in Iraq when the insurgency peaked around 2006 and things got really bad. We were deployed and it was fucking hot. War is scary, but waiting for war is scariest. I remember standing on post and hearing small arms fire from Baghdad, and I knew I would be sent there. I remember one day specifically when we were loading up in the convoy and three friends I knew very well and other men from my platoon. They had to many in the front humvee where my friends were and I had to go all the way to the rear humvee. We were driving through a shithole when an IED blew up the front hummer. There was nothing other than the IED. Everyone in the front hummer died. It didn't really hit me until I got back to the bunker and we started packing my friends shit up and mailing unsent letters after reading them that my friends were fucking dead. We were all just kids in a place we didn't understand sent here by the USMC for some reason, but my friends were dead. My platoon supported me and I made new friends, but it just wasn't the same. I snapped when I got home and got real angry at my parents and looking back on it I felt bad.

It might sound selfish but I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything, nor do I regret my decision. I was thought very valuable lessons by that war.

Best friend's girlfriend's dad is a semi-famous Canadian sniper. Get him piss drunk one night and ask him what the hardest thing about Afganistan was:

"When you hunker in you hunker in. You don't fucking move for anything. I spent 12 hours sitting in 2 of my own shits to get a shot in 30 degree weather"

Apparently the man literally petitioned for less gas inducing MRE's for sniper-spotter teams at one point

I went to Marjah in 2012 on my second deployment, bounced back and forth between FOB Marjah and FOB Hansen. It was mostly pacified by that time though and it was boring as fuck. We only got shot at twice on our entire deployment and both times I was in the back of an MRAP and didnt even get to do anything. My first deployment to Sangin/Upper Gereshk in 2010 was the complete opposite. We lived on a small remote outpost doing foot patrols and getting shot at whenever we went further than 200 meters outside our patrol base. I went 5 months without a shower on that deployment.

the board was similar then, there was plenty of partisan camps and shitposting then too, and there are still quality threads now.

back then it was a lot slower so you could actually hold conversations more often. now it's pretty chaotic. also more liberals/redditors because Trump won (fair weather fans and they take us more seriously). used to be more libertarians as well.

My great grandfather was in WWII. When the Allies were taking Hitler's Eagles Nest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehlsteinhaus), he went in shortly after the first group of men who captured the place. For whatever reason, he decided to pick up a door that had been kicked in from off the ground. Then he took the key from the door and mailed it home to my great grandma. She still has it, along with some uniforms of German soldiers my great grandpa shot and other artifacts.
Or at least so the story goes. I haven't personally seen it.

I got to witness the second battle of Fallujah from a somewhat safe distance in 2004. My platoon setup a road block a few miles East of the city. Artillery hit that place with white phosphorous all night long.

All you anons who pulled time in Iraq & Afghanistan, particularly during those hottest (combat wise) years, are god-tier. That would have scared the hell out of me to go outside the wire on patrols.

My father is an American who fought in Vietnam. I could tell he was mentally fucked up from it as all he would do is watch war movies and TV shows such as band of brothers while never saying anything about the war.

But one day he was drunk and he started rambling about when he and his friends were bored on drugs one day so they started calling in napalm drops all over civilian villages. He said this eats at his conscious every day and he will never forget what horrors he caused to innocent people who were just scared and afraid.

He then started crying and passed out. I never mentioned it.

We had 5 squads at our patrol base and we divided our schedule into 5 day weeks accordingly. 2 days of patrols, 1 day of post, 1 day of QRF, and 1 day of rest. The squad on QRF duty would be responsible for spinning themselves up to go out and react to any circumstance that called for it, and were also responsible for taking care of any working parties that needed to be done around the patrol base. The 1 day of rest was sacred to us and was almost never violated. After a few cycles of those 5 days you started to forget what the real date was because it was pretty irrelevant. i didn't even realize my 20th birthday passed until 3 days after the fact.

DONT GO OUT THERE. but all i could think of was i dont wanna be late, gotta guard the DIFAC. so i said "Thanks Sir but I gotta do my duty." and ventured out into the explosions. I ran and stayed near cover and barriers as much as possible but i couldn't help looking up at the rockets were raining down because it looked fucking epic and terrifying and hilarious. one of the few times i felt remotely like i thought being a soldier would be like.

It's scary the first time but each successive time gets easier and easier until it hardly phases you at all. The Adrenaline high that comes from surviving a near-death experience unscathed is the best feeling I've ever experienced and after a few weeks we all actually came to crave the massive adrenaline dump that you get from a firefight.

Fondest memory was giving tins of Spam, with the labels removed, to the local kids and having the bring the empty tins back asking for more.

I just remembered one more.

My grandfather in law fought against the Japanese in China when he was about 13.

Hes about 100 now still in China and is revered in his city of Dongguan but fucking everyone. Lives in a mansion and gets people coming to his house wanting to shake his hand for what he did.

Apparently he was able to sneak into his village which was being ransacked by the Japanese and stabbed their highest officer to death with a rusty farmers knife.

Kek. It made me laugh at least during basic. Guy was a really cool badass. He killed a guy he was chasing. He was in the humvee with a 50 Cal and the guy was in a camel. He killed them both and decapitated the guy with the fifty Cal.

At one point Ozzie SOP for mag changing during combat was to flop on the ground. Didnt know that. We were kicking doors in some relatively big house killing a bunch of haji and this dude kerplops on the ground. Screaming FUCKFUCKFUCK we proceed to clear the rest of the house killing like 6 more dudes two of them who were trying to surrender. We were black on fucking everything in the middle of a gun fight too big for us. So we just shot fucking everyone. As me and some of the dudes were coming downstairs, the ozzie pops around the corner "Good shooting lads." Thought he was dead. This was near tarin kowt. Sorry if this is confusing i am high as fuck rn.

This reminds me of the video found on a gopro after a bunch of ISIS fighters were killed.

They recorded their side of a fight which was basically the 3 stooges with guns.

My grandfather was a Romanian legionare under Antonescu before the communist king wrestled power away from the nat soc system. He was stationed at an oil depot and operated anti aircraft equipment against the allied forces trying to bomb it. He lived until he was 95.

My grandmothers brother was again a Romanian however he was recruited by the SS, ended up dying in Berlin during the last days of the war.

Grandfather's brother was a tunnel rat. The runt of the family, he's about 5'3 soaking ass wet. Don't know why because my grandfather and his other brothers are all in the 5'10-6+ range. Anyway, the brother went off to Vietnam as a hell raising drunk and came back a born again Christian and is now a Pastor in rural North Carolina. He never talks about the war to anyone.

Great-granduncle had a knife with a handle he made from a Japanese femur. Also a silver ring that had a gold tooth as the "jewel". He told me personally he clubbed a surrendering nip in the head with his rifle butt and out came this chunk of gold. Said it was a divine message from Jesus to spare that nip.

>then he came home and wrecked his motorcycle a few weeks after being discharged and lost his right leg

So everyone thought he lost the leg in the war and he got tired of telling them no, so he just went with it. "Japs blew off my leg" is what he'd tell everyone and they were none the wiser.

My great uncle was in the navy during ww2 on the American side, given he's 95 or something and can't talk very well I couldn't really tell what sect of the navy he was in, all i know is that he saw some shit, he said that in the Mediterranean (or pacific) his ship got torpedoed and sank, he told me, in surprisingly great detail, how him and his shipmates all had to group together to avoid sharks and how usually, in the 3 days they spent adrift, the wounded would die first, he also was in 4 beach landings on the pacific front and fought in Iwo Jima, and recalled to me how during one of the landings a comrade his age (that being 21) was hit and his legs where blown off or something, my great uncle wasnt too sure, however he recalled how the man died slowly because he was immobilized in a position that, if a rescue attempt was made, would compromise the position so they just left him there, my great uncle specifically told me the thing that haunted him was that the man was screaming his presumable child's name before he finally died, like I said he was in the navy but I dont know how a seaman can participate in a landing so maybe it was the MC

sailors and fishermen never bothered to learn to swim until relatively recently. The thinking was that if you went overboard or your boat sank you were as good as dead. Swimming would only prolong the inevitable and increase the suffering.

I can see why they had legal problems later on. If a US soldier had made that kill, he would have been sent to Leavenworth. I don't know why we didn't have US military or own in-house shit that day, but for whatever reason they put us with some Blackwater folks. Can't say nothing bad about them; they kept us safe and didn't take shit from the sandniggers.

I could have things sent back. Have a couple of antique guns I mailed home. Not a very difficult process for a civilian. Have some rugs and other items too. I had a black market Tariq but there was no feasible way to get that home so I sold it to a co-worker on my way out. We weren't supposed to have guns but fuck that shit, and it's very easy to get your hands on something over there.

>Dad enlists out of secondary school, but the peacetime Army was boring as shit and things got doubly retarded in the wake of unification. Got into real estate after his discharge, made good money, but never got to kill any krauts.
>I enlist in 2005 after graduation. Combat Engineers. Afghanistan is hot as fuck. Routinely fix water pumps for retarded Pashtuns. Get mortared twice, but never see the enemy or fire my rifle in anger. It was probably those fuckers with the busted water pump. No Belgian cuties, no English maidens-in-waiting, and certainly no commies or krauts to shoot.

I guess war is only worthwhile when Fritz starts it. Shame they don't have the balls for it anymore.

I'm glad you don't hold some weird animosity towards BW like a lot of people. I'm good friends with a lot of BW folks and they fought and bled and continually died on that battlefield to save people they didn't have to, fight other peoples battles and overall be badasses.

>BW famous for going out of their way to save people during battle for Najaf
they did that shit on the reg the entire time they were operating.

I love black water. The only people who don't are anti war leftists. His CEO was actually deeply involved in the Clinton email scandal, trying to get Huma's laptop from the NYC police and trying to get it released last year. I don't remember what came of it but he'd go on Alex jones all the time..

My grandpa was a bad mother fucker. The baddest in this thread by far, compared to a bunch of cucks in here. KEKS

He was a Marine in Korea, and fought in the Chosin Reservoir. He landed at Incheon and was the front man in the boat-- only small arms fire and survived.

He was the designated squad marksmen and the Korean war had no need for a marksmen. They needed shooters and they put this motherfucker on the Browning watercooled machine gun. He told me they were ordered not to open fire until they could smell them and these gooks smelled like garlic.

He faced human wave attacks and once the Browning started it couldn't stop as the barrel would warp. He had a few guys in his foxhole supporting him for ammo and coverage. Every bullet was directed at him when he opened it up.

At dawn in one morning there was an estimated 500 dead in front of his gun. He didn't give a fuck.

On Halloween they dug up a grave of a good and took the head of the recently deceased and decapitated it and put a candle in the head after hallowing it out. He said gooks were too superstitious to attack that night.

His foxhole was overran once and he had to use his .45 to defend it and his friends. Then once out of ammo it came down to knifes and shovels that he kept razor sharp. In fact, he'd shave with his shovel as proof to his buddies that he was ready for that event.

He fought next to some turks who were deployed as some type of NATO force and he and the turks would go out it the day time and collect ears of the dead and wear them as necklaces. He gave no fucks.

There was a women spotted on a hill a few hundred yards away and was ordered to destroy. She was pregnant and had a large pack on her back. He sprayed her with the .30 and the whole hill side blew up. She was carrying bombs intended to kill them all. He slept good that night he said.

All the stupid shit I've seen

1) CPT Battle, commander of an FSC and daughter of a preacher, fucking her soldiers and letting photos be taken. The company was later deployed to Iraq and she was relieved of command because she was incompent. She got herself a GS12 job.

2) COL Washington, a fem orc in bright red lipstick and brigade commander. Field exercise during monsoon season her TOC was atop a hill and her battalions were near a river. The river is rising fast. "Ma'am, we need to evac." "It's not flooding where I'm at." Soon enough everyone is in waist-high water. Equipment floating away. Convoys get scattered.

3) 1SG and other senior NCOs pimping out female E1s and E2s at the barracks after Sep11 because no one was allowed to party off post.

4) PFC Abdula, who had been in trouble just about everyday and made threats to kill people, trying to shoot people at the range.

5) Co commander lost a HEMTT (a giant wrecker)

6) Commo SFC forgets to bring the crypto key for the taclane during FTX. Has to drive about 8 hours round trip to get it. No network comms for hours.

7) Contractor parks in COL's reserved parking spot so she's late to briefing. Get's lit up. Does it again a week later.

8) WO1 decides to a do a day-on day-off schedule for months.

Guess the race.

On and on it goes. BTW, if you're ever looking for your black female NCOs and officers on a Friday afternoon don't bother checking their offices. They've all left to go to the beauty shop.

My Grandfather was a high ranking genral in the Rhodesian. He even knew Ian Smith.

I grew up on a ketchup farm in Mississippi. We would go out all day and dig up bottles of ketchup then sell them by the side of the road for 10 dimes, which most people just call a dollar now. It wasn't till I was 18 that my pappy told me there's no such thing as a ketchup farm, he was buying those bottles in town and burying them in the middle of the night just to give us something to do the next day. They cost him two dollars a bottle, so we were losing a solid dollar every bottle, plus the time spent digging them up and him sneaking out every night to bury them. After I found out I moved to New York to become a jazz dancer. I became a hit and danced privately for many well known celebrities and world leaders. I would sometimes dance quietly for Einstein in his study, he said it helped him think. I was dancing softly in the corner when he came up with the E equals Mc Squared stuff.

He had his pancreas blow out on the 12th of some month. The 13th he was in surgery and on that day he had his foxhole overran and they all were killed. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that.

He was shot in the head and survived. Purple heart.

Hand to hand combat all the time. The machine gun ran every night. He was the best shot I have ever seen. He never once missed a deer and was a killer to the end.

Here I am a 25 year old high T guy working as a sysadmin and all I want is purpose. If I had to do it all over again I would have joined the Marines and made him proud. His brother fought in WWII, served in the Navy and was on 5 different boats that were sunk by the japs. If war broke out at home I'd fight for this country like I was supposed to.

He's dead now. Alcohol and the shitty VA system killed him.

RIP you bad mother fucker.

this was the gayest thing I've ever read.

>>134627768
At first we thought it was a mortar but it was huge and they never hit anything on the first shot. Our supply guy got killed and my first sergeant got a gut full for shrapnel.

>>134628124

I probably would do the same if I were a general. Either that or just randomly show up in civies and hang around with the boots until someone recognizes my face.

Grandpa fought in WW2, said blacks were cowards and would always run away at the first shot.

Dad fought in Vietnam, said black were cowards, was convinced they only integrated the army so blacks would stop running away

You ate the fucking eggs, didn't you?

My grandfather jumped into a foxhole and there were two japs in there. They all looked at each other for a couple of seconds and my grandfather killed them both. He pulled an arisaka off of one of them and a wallet as well.

I have the coins from the wallet and arisaka today.
