My heater in my barracks isnt still repaired, my coffee is cold and two of your rascals, speaking with Swedish accent, one lieutenant and someone else, grabbed my medtruck, almost overran my sergeant, and casually drove it off like it was their personal sports car. Do you expect me to patch this mans chest with glue and staples?!".
"Uh yes sir. Right away sir. I shall investigate at once sir"
Subsequent inquiry to incident revealed that two men (who have not yet been reliably identified) had casually grabbed Mobile Medical Trauma Unit from the hands of medical team providing life saving first aid. Fortunately the truck was returned in one piece. I explained that my men are engineers, not geniuses. I can't expect them to read tasks or to tell a difference between Mobile Command Truck and Medical Trauma Unit. Medical officer calmed down and no one was court martialed.
Well played Stag. Had a good giggle reading that. 8)
