Switzerland not only shelled Liechtenstein twice, but also invaded three times by accident. 😂

Story 2: Cookie is one heck of an MVP, standing up for the enlisted men and making sure their meals were beyond satisfactory, even when the fridge died

[DarkEinherjar]

Cookie story: never, EVER, mess with the guy who makes the food.

Story 1: Damn, I didn't know the Prince and Princess of Lichtenstein was so chill with the accidental bombing of their barn. I mean, the guy on the other end of the radio is the one at fault for this for purposely repeating back the wrong coordinates just for the sake of messing with him. Bro, you almost CAUSED a war crime for Christ's sake!

RSlash community, I am happy to announce I officially have 59 days until I am done with the military, sure I almost died multiple times but at least I had Rslash vidoes to listen to

Historically in the military there are three positions that are given leeway to "talk back" to a superior officer. Doctor, safety officer and cook. All three are there to ensure the safety and health of everyone.

Story 1: why the hell was he punished, he did nothing wrong and HAD WITNESSES saying he did nothing wrong. How is that fair.

Story 3: You'd think he's be understanding of OP's wife's situation, but nope, he decided that the best response was to push buttons and TRY to get OP to fly into a rage, which is a terrible move for many reasons. That hard pie to the face was deserved

[ashleightompkins]

Lichtenstein is famously chill. When the Swiss army accidentally walked into their territory, they went in with 80 soldiers, made a friend and walked out with 81 soldiers.

Story 1: I can relate!!! I was working on a popular TV show about 15 years ago and apparently the Prince of Lichtenstein was a fan. Princess Astrid reached out to organize a set visit. They didn’t end up coming, but she sent me a book about Lichtenstein as a gift (I still have it) and said that if I was ever there, I should visit them! I’m dead serious!

Gotta admire Cookie, he's a teddy bear and a badass

[vermacvontaven]

1st story: OPs grandpa isn't kidding. I was Field Artillery in the U.S. Army, and if your numbers didn't match with who was giving them exactly and you fired in the wrong spot. Then, you were looking at anything from UCMJ. To a court marshall. Or even prison time.

[MrsShocoTaco]

I think a good word for Cookie in that moment would be 'apoplectic.'

[Jackie-McCann]

Good on OP’s wife in the last story. That sounds like a pie to the face that would’ve made Moe Howard proud.

[nukeboy]

"im sorry that the coordinates used directly hit your country sir"
is all i can think about with that first story

[digital_gravity]

I guess they CAN hit the broadside of a barn.

[vilet]

“Uhh cookie, what is this?”
“That’s my chimichanga stand”

My father was chief commissary steward on an aircraft carrier during WWII. He ordered for both enlisted and officers mess. His rule was that everyone ate the same food. If it was good enough for the enlisted men it was good enough for the officers. No one with sense argues with the guy feeding you...

If you listen closely while visiting the Lichtenstein Castle, you can still hear the young man's nervous shivering. 😂
