Going Viking.

Larry K, the Castle's Junction City/Coast Guard correspondent, sent us this for our delectation this morning.

I have no idea what is going on here but I thought you might like it is you haven’t seen it already.
Sort of reminds me of what it would be like if the Muppets Danish Chef were in the Army.

Click here - and watch the ~~Dutch~~ Danish (hey, it was early, dammit. I do too know the difference) Army in action in a way it hasn't been since, oh, May, 1940?

Ahoy Talibani! Get some, Gentlemen and Ladies.

The driver does look like a woman, and later on towards night she gets some trigger time on the side mounted MG-42. Very nice

I can read better than speak anything, so if I get the "what happened", they were mortared or, possibly, they were calling in mortars on the position. Except, that big bang at the end looked more like a 500lb jdam.

May I gently remind all present that Danes are not Dutch. These fine soldiers are from Denmark, not Holland. But thanks for posting this - I didn't know the Danes were seeing action (although I did know that the Dutch were in the south with you Yanks, the Limeys, and of course, us Canucks).

i guess those years of watching the Muppet Show finally paid off. i actually understood a bit of what they were saying. they use "6" as a radio call sign to designate the command element, something happened on the "left flank", all the men were OK, and somebody got ordered to hold their position. oh yeah, and i think the driver of the vehicle at 2:58 of that clip is female.

The Dutch are from the Netherlands (Holland), the Danish are from Denmark. It's not the same country.

One of the odd things about Czech (at least when I was learning it) is their use of Ahoj, pronounced ahoy, as a standard greeting. Kind of like howdy... But the Czech's own a land locked-country doncha know....
