    Man in a serious note, back then these informative videos were also humorous and also poetic is some ways. Some of these actually have a real story line. The videos covering similar topics in the 80s are much more rigid (Do this. Don’t do that.) Now the military doesn’t care at all lol. They don’t bother to give the majority of their troops any training (let alone cheeky videos) to use on one of the worst days of their lives.

And the immense power of all of those machines. Hydraulic oil and electricity in unholy amounts. I envy the minds that built this industry all over the world.
