Video Fun

Anyone who follows deployed Troops soon realizes they come up with all sorts of humorous ways to entertain each other. YouTube has plenty of videos with pranks, songs, and dances. TB and a few buddies have been filming short newscast videos. They call it I.E.D. News - International Entertainment Daily. TB ordered wigs, a moustache, and some fake microphones to add to the effect. He has been excited about posting the videos to his Facebook page. Due to the slow Internet, it takes a long time to upload each one, so he has only added a few.


I don’t understand “friends” who send him emails with comments such as “Don’t you have anything better to do?”, “How come you guys aren’t working?”, “I guess you don’t have it so bad over there if you have time to play around.”  Seriously??? These guys have no days off. They miss holidays and birthdays. I won’t go into the hardships they’ve endured since I’ve addressed them here many times. They can’t have a few minutes of fun to keep morale up? The videos are less than two minutes each. If they spend 10 or 15 minutes a day goofing off they’re branded as slackers. This is one of those “shaking my head” moments.
