They were laughing at the fact that they were supposed to hide what country they were currently in while they were standing in front of the country's flag... Which is why he pointed at the flag and laughed ....

[peglegjoe]

This is not something to take lightly folks. Do some research and consider what is happening in Europe at this very minute. Imagine having to apologize or even being arrested for laughing in public.

[BaronOfHell]

Apparently they thought the soldiers were insulting the country because one of the soldiers thought a city had a funny name.
