Fearless soldiers in their epic battle against colloid hydrogel. Lucky them it was only an exercise without enemy fire
I could imagine their enemies dying from laughter if there were any around.
At least the camouflage fits
Well, they kinda got camoflaged as they hit the beach.
HAHAHA….yeah some of them even got their whole face camoflaged. And the guy with the life vest paniced and camoflaged his undies.
Hahahaha
Most intelligent thing I’ve seen you write. well done.
Thanks Darko =) Although we but we both know that not much intelligent comes from my keyboard, so I don’t know how much that compliment is worth really haha
Uh oh… Failures in progress.
“Thanks Darko =) Although we but we both know that not much intelligent comes from my keyboard”
“Although we but we both know”
“not much intelligent comes from my keyboard”
“Thanks Darko =)” (Its Dark not Darko lol.)
Grammer fail.
Punctuation fail.
FAIL.
~Thanks failblog for infecting the world with Failure.
Hypocrisy at work! More fail!
“(Its Dark not Darko lol.)”
It’s has an apostrophe in this case, because it’s short for “it is.”
“Grammer fail.”
Grammar is spelt with two A’s.
If you’re going to correct someone’s minor fails, don’t conduct huge ones while you’re at it.
is spelt a word?
yes
it is an ingredient in certain types of muesli
spelt is a word oddly enuf. a type of wheat lol.
so im goin to go with one fail to choronsom for grammar “not much intelligent” and two fails to portal for what heckz said
sandy ownage!
The Chumbawumba(sp?) song was incredibly random and yet vaguely appropriate.
Logic fail.
Pop culture knowledge fail.
I think tubthumping fits really good here
I get knocked down, but i get up again, you’ll never gonna keep me down….
…fits really well here.
Grammar fail.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. retards. first!!! did I fail?
Yes you did

fail1: you typed first
fail2: you weren’t first
Must…. resist…. first. shit. sorry
First shit?
O.o
congratulations. don’t forget to wipe.
this made me LOL so hard.
Oh thank god I was actually fourth!
“Reply to this Comment” fail.
poor kids tricked into jumping into this set up =(
Troops vs. Beach. The beach wins.
Actually, it is a quicksand win.
WET LAND WET LAND WET LAND
Well, shoot! My Bill Nye tags didn’t work. HTML fail.
Any idea how much HTML works on these comment boxes? I know italic/bold formatting work.
I have no idea.
*startlingly helpful*
bold italic/i> emphasis underline span
fail at </i>
Fail at <i>
No fail at
It was part of the training, and this was set up to determine the team’s teamwork effort. Obviously, it failed.
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.
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.
I’d like to see the fail when they try to fire their guns!
See http://failblog.org/2008/06/18/missile-fail/ for that.
Someone should have shot the cameraman.
12th and anyway where are these soldiers from
according to my clock it’s 9:18 am
It’s called TIME ZONES.
LOL
I’d say they’re british. Royal marines maybe?
nope austrainlians
well they are straining…
austrians
geographic fail…
No, British. Note the DPM pattern desert camo, L85A2 rifle (I’m Ex-British army, so I’m not guessing here…) and the fact that they don’t take themself too seriously. The Australian army issues the the F88C Au Steyr for a personal weapon a different cam patterned uniform.
Anyway, the rumour is that this was a bunch of REMFs on a mandatory combat training excercise (everyone is a soldier first, and a specialist second), and that the Royal Marines who were running the excercise set them up for an epic beach landing fail
Highly amusing, nevertheless.
so this austrainlians would that be the children of the newly combined nations of austria and australia? the parent are austrian and australian and the children are henceforth austrainlian. fail to ben for creating nonexistent militaries. or maybe a win for keeping this military so secret that noone knew until now
Photoshopped?
Troll fail
Oh f**k off.
for once that’s actually funny
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
by the way, I think they have an Enfield rifle and British uniforms, so they are Brits
Enfield ! not since 1960 ! after that came the SLR, then that was retired in the late 90s for the SA80 which is shown
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
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 ?
i think it was an mainly austrailian task force actually
austrian*
They’re not Austrian! They’re the British Royal Marines.
Austria doesn’t use the L85 (SA80) either.
hahahahahehehehehuhuhu..so fail soldier
beach: nom.
Lolcats WIN!
That was funny, good thing there was no land mines.
You put a lot of land mines in quick sand lately Norman Swartzkopf?
Only after making sure the claymores nearby were pointing straight down, of course.
Norman Swartzkopf has never and will never put land mines in quick sand. Trust me, I would know.
Dr. Mooseballs
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
Intelligence fail.
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.
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.
lmao… and that’s why terrain is stressed in military tactics
since Sun Tzu
How calls the track in background?
You’re asking for the name of the song? That’s “Tubthumping” by Chumbawumba
Tubthumping is the name of the album.
Music identification, partial fail.
Actually, the song itself is called Tubthumping, too.
You sure, I thought the song was “I get knocked down” or is that just what it’s commonly reffered to as?
There’s a fail somewhere here but I’m not sure where yet.
Fail identification fail.
It’s TubThumping. I downloaded it off iTunes recently.
You can see it here, the video to Chumbawumba’s “I Get Knocked Down”
Insertion point fail, quicksand win!
Insertion point fail, see also: Moose (Darwin fail)
Great observation win!
wow thats epic.. I don’t want to be the person who has to clean those weapons which are filled with sand omg
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.
Mentioning Lemmings 2…WIN!!
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!
Dude you smell like you just camoflaged your self
dude your a nerd
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
Retard FAIL
… or win?
i think its a Australian attachment not brits
but your right seems lik an american thing 2 do
austrian soz
Beach: 1
Soldiers: 0
More like
Beach: 8
Soldiers: 0
I think there were 8… tooo busy laughing to count again
fucking LOL.
You all fail, everyone of you! Retards!
Balls to use your name while flaming.
Epic Fail.
Coastline Security WIN!
Kb arenas movedizas
How everyone says: FAAAIIIILLLLLLLL
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.
this would be why they practice, so it doesn’t happen that way during an actual confrontation.
also, whatever happened to bombs? WHO STORMS BEACHES nowadays?
Navy Seals.
richard marcinko ftw
HAHAHAHAHA! So which country’s navy forgot that old war-time adage “Don’t make a beach landing at low tide”???
Music makes it a win.
if only hitler knew…
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
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.
fail ‘”>FAIL!!!
This message goes to those idiots who think that was an actual battle.They’re testing how well their trap works, and as you can see it works very well.
America’s finest in action. Arent they just the best in the world!!
rofl sure are
silly americans
They certainly are, dumbarses… they’re not American soldiers
seems like wat americans would do
but they would drop like it was water
SADFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
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
the gun is an SA80 and is used by many countries
Yes…..i can count all of them using just one hand!!
To be harsh, no fail here. This is a _training_ excercise in which these retromingant military fuckwits learn how to land on a beach.
If they fail, and are gunned down, then the marines on the next boat will use their bullet riddled corpses as a walkway…
Anyone know the song name…?
SONG=?
It’s Tubthumping by Chumbawumba
HAHA, I find that really funny. Godd, that must have been soo funny for them :L
Army Fail. Mud Win.
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?
It’s not a flag you idiot.
You fail common knowledge.
How the hell did you see a flag when they were covered in shit?
U – S – A !
U – S – A !!
suck
F***ing hilarious.
If they’re not US troops then Uncle Sam’s just gotta want them for his armee.
o shit yer been spelling austria wrong, soz austrailia
sand ftw
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.
if only tht happened in normandy, i’ll be livin in heaven!!!
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.
5 bucks says they were french
100 bucks says that you just post whatever your thinking without reading other comments
they’re British, pay up
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.
German beach pwnd
God save us!
well, at least they didn’t have to worry about blending in
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!)
They look like ants stuck on a tape ant trap. lol that fails <3
it just shows you how useless the us army is, or whatever army that is
think it might be the frech army
I know, right? How stupid of them to not see the invisible effects of liquefaction . . . which are invisible. Useless indeed.
Counterinvasion WIN.
