  1. Toris says:

    Fearless soldiers in their epic battle against colloid hydrogel. Lucky them it was only an exercise without enemy fire :)

  2. Fail says:

    The Chumbawumba(sp?) song was incredibly random and yet vaguely appropriate.

  3. Jimmeh says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHA. retards. first!!! did I fail?

  4. Ack! says:

    Must…. resist…. first. shit. sorry

  5. Ack! says:

    Oh thank god I was actually fourth!

  6. minishaw says:

    poor kids tricked into jumping into this set up =(

  7. Arex says:

    Troops vs. Beach. The beach wins.

  8. Robbie says:

    It was part of the training, and this was set up to determine the team’s teamwork effort. Obviously, it failed.

  9. justam says:

    Well, firstly, I can’t believe the guys who got off the boat later would try to wade across the sand even after seeing how the first bunch got bogged down.

    And I know now how I’d prevent a beach invasion. Plenty of quicksand does the job.

    • molesticide says:

      seriously, the guy in the back should just wait til everybody is stuck then walk over them like stepping stones. thinking outside the BOX, fellas.

  10. Paul says:

    I’d like to see the fail when they try to fire their guns! :D

  11. dolt says:

    12th and anyway where are these soldiers from

  12. dean7380@hotmail.com says:

    Photoshopped?

  13. Juasman says:

    This reminds me of “Los Caños de Meca”, a part of the coast in southern Spain where there is a training field used by the Spanish Army and other NATO forces.

    This training field is known by its shitty muddy coasts! so that could be the place :)

    • Juasman says:

      by the way, I think they have an Enfield rifle and British uniforms, so they are Brits :D

      • Elsdon says:

        Enfield ! not since 1960 ! after that came the SLR, then that was retired in the late 90s for the SA80 which is shown

        • Juasman says:

          ooops, I always thought that the SA80 – L85 family also was called Enfield. My mistake. By the way, I’ve read that they were produced at “Enfield Lock”, so maybe my mistake comes from that :)

  14. Elsdon says:

    British Army, in 2003 Basrah Iraq. I remember it coming out whilst I was there. Fusiliers I believe they were. (It was a British Army Regiment the Fusiliers until recently) They were doing a landing on the river in Al Shat Arab, ( spelling ?) Basrah and having it videoed for the families back home when they landed in the mud. It was so good they kept it :-) anyone spot the frog ?

  15. artslover says:

    hahahahahehehehehuhuhu..so fail soldier

  16. aegis3d says:

    beach: nom.

  17. juneau21 says:

    That was funny, good thing there was no land mines.

  18. Anonymous says:

    Good thing they were British troops, if they were American they’d probably have to call for a chinook to get their fat asses out… and there’d still be a friendly fire incident

    • Blarg says:

      Intelligence fail.

      • molesticide says:

        i thought it was kind of funny, the friendly fire bit. course, the funny part is that if they were americans, they wouldn’t need to storm the beach like a bunch of vikings, because the american military at least has a bigger budget than my school cafeteria did. and have any of you ever heard of a town called earlham? yeah, tiny budget, there.

        • ben says:

          hey no need to be harsh i think it was all a joke
          and the americans do have a bigger budget but less training
          remeber they were helping america in the war if they are so
          rich they
          shouldnt need itt
          plus they aint brits.

  19. james says:

    lmao… and that’s why terrain is stressed in military tactics

  20. mario Haas says:

    How calls the track in background?

  21. Wolfie says:

    Insertion point fail, quicksand win!

  22. damnedgamer says:

    wow thats epic.. I don’t want to be the person who has to clean those weapons which are filled with sand omg

  23. Lindsay says:

    This is why infantry spam attacks in waves; the first four or so fill in any holes and quicksand.

    Like the bag of sand in Lemmings 2.

  24. grundler says:

    I don’t see why this is a fail. Looks like they made it in the end. You people all expect invading a beach to be so easy and quick. This was a perseverance SUCCESS! They did one heck of a job!

  25. fatman says:

    LOL thank god British soldiers r really well trained and indoctrinated… if they were americans… Think what would happen…. they’ll call in george bush and bush will just declare war on the sand and say that the sand is in possession of WMDs…

    Send in millions and millions of dollars worth of Cruise missles from supporting destroys and cruisers and pwn the sand!!! FTW

  26. Someone says:

    Beach: 1
    Soldiers: 0

  27. Anonymous says:

  30. Omega says:

    How everyone says: FAAAIIIILLLLLLLL

  31. Anonymous says:

    There is a part of me that wants to laugh with them because this was just practice, and there is a part of me that wants to pray for them for when it really matters.

    I take things too seriously.

  32. CB says:

    HAHAHAHAHA! So which country’s navy forgot that old war-time adage “Don’t make a beach landing at low tide”???

  33. anonymous says:

    Music makes it a win.

  34. John says:

    if only hitler knew…

  35. Anonymous says:

    Sadly, these conditions dominated the British offensive of Passchendaele (Third Battle of Ypres) in Belgium in 1917 during World War I. Instead of an empty beach, though, the soldiers had to contend with machine gun fire, artillery shelling, and the encroaching enemy in addition to mud up to their waists caused by a downpour that was the heaviest the region had seen in 30 years; many drowned in the mud. Looks like there’s to be a film about it: http://www.indiewire.com/ots/2008/06/toronto_08_pass.html

  36. mrs. wifey says:

    Those neon orange floaties are not tactical.

    Boy am I glad my husband has never brought me home silt-saturated cammies. Man, I would be so pissed.

  37. fail says:

    fail ‘”>FAIL!!!

  38. Amused says:

    America’s finest in action. Arent they just the best in the world!!

  39. ASDF says:

    SADFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

  40. lowkey says:

    These are brittish or UN soldiers, i know im about to sound geeky but its because they have a gun called the L85 which is used in brittsh and UN forces

  41. SONG? says:

    Anyone know the song name…?

    SONG=?

  42. Kirsty =D says:

    HAHA, I find that really funny. Godd, that must have been soo funny for them :L

  43. Taugenichts says:

    Army Fail. Mud Win.

  44. masterfailure says:

    You all fail!
    They are austrian soldiers. Austria, not Australia. No f*ckin kangaroos.
    Just look at the flag on the life jacket. Does it look british to you?

  45. horst says:

    U – S – A !
    U – S – A !!

  46. Anonymous says:

    F***ing hilarious.

    If they’re not US troops then Uncle Sam’s just gotta want them for his armee.

  47. ben says:

    o shit yer been spelling austria wrong, soz austrailia

  48. elliot says:

    sand ftw

  49. pete says:

    This was staged for a show to demonstrate how important selecting the landing beach sites at Normandy was… it is supposed to fail. Still looks like the Brits had some fun.

  50. Rude jackass says:

    That happened to US troops in Panama when they went to get Noriega only on a larger scale and it was not training like this one. Panamanian civilians formed a human chain to pull many of the soldiers out of the mud. Helicopters hovered a few feet off the ground and the crews pulled some of the others out and moved them to solid ground. Soldiers who exited the choppers a few meters away landed on solid ground.

  51. Ed says:

    5 bucks says they were french

  52. Don says:

    That is hilarious. From a practical point of view. now you know why the frogmen of WWII were transported by subs to recon the beaches months ahead of time. They took soil samples, charted underwater and above water obstacles (man-made and natural) and helped determine whether a beach would support infantry or vehicular traffic. That role is fulfilled by the SEALs now. This clip would be a great training video.

  53. Qbrix says:

    German beach pwnd

  54. slavemaster says:

    well, at least they didn’t have to worry about blending in

  55. Andrew says:

    Reference Don’s comment, Film could be entitled “how not to do beach sampling”. Don’t do it in broad daylight either. (Send for Major Godfrogs men!)

  56. Kelly says:

    They look like ants stuck on a tape ant trap. lol that fails <3

  57. Aidan says:

    it just shows you how useless the us army is, or whatever army that is
    think it might be the frech army

    • Koriina says:

      I know, right? How stupid of them to not see the invisible effects of liquefaction . . . which are invisible. Useless indeed.

  58. Herder of Hypocrites says:

    Counterinvasion WIN.

  59. Trozei says:

    If I was defending against that invasion I don’t know if I would snipe those guys or laugh.

  60. Andrew says:

    The sad thing is they are the british army, doing the best they can with the worlds worst leadership.

  61. Mervyn says:

    Quick, call the coastguard!!!1!

  62. I love how they keep jumping in even though the first two clearly were stuck… not the brightest bulbs eh?

  63. Bigger Picture says:

    I love the guy who pulled his PFD for protection.

  64. elisa says:

    toris, why’re you’re talking to yourself?

  65. žogi says:
