“Grab the EOD stick”
“Excuse me the what?”

[RDHarmony]

"Call EOD"
"Nah, call Dave. He does this shit every day"
Dave:

So this is what finding good sticks as a kid amounts to.

As a retired combat engineer, there’s an addictive rush and excitement when doing stuff like this. We can’t do fly by’s like maverick but we have our ways 😂

"See that over there? That's a landmine. One of the stealthiest, camouflaged killers of soldiers... I'm GONNA POKE IT WITH A STICK."

[theannouncer]

That one friend that you are genuinely surprised has survived his entire life

[thewheelsnowman]

This guy is really outstanding in his field must be a real blast to work with him

"Toe poppers" meant to seriously incapacitate a soldier not kill them. Blowing off someone's lower leg in combat causes that unit to completely change their objective.

You know it's a high level threat when cameraman moves back

The moment I saw zhe explosion I knew I've been watching too much movies.

"We can do this Sarge.. we have TECHNOLOGY"

*Proceeds to slam branch into mine*

I remember in Desert Storm where they basically did what you should never do and they knew they shouldn't do it, but did it anyway. They called it Operation Runs with Scissors.

I'm a Combat Engineer and approve of this.

[josephking]

His civilian job before the war was a Branch Manager. 🤦‍♂️

[mreese]

It's like playing Russian roulette with 100 shrapnels.

[jarnol]

The universal look of "I'm boutta do some stupid shit"

[rustyshackleford]

I like the fact that “I hope I don’t get caught, ” takes precedence over “I hope I don’t die.”

[amidgetdwarf]

When people say "I wouldn't touch that thing with a 15 foot pole" well...this guy would 😎

[KiraSlith]

I can appreciate a straightforward presentation like this, more of this on #shorts please!

[cheeseslice]

The cameraman backed away to get a better view, he knows he can't die.
