If anybody here can understand this, watch the video and read the politicians reactions to it.

Not funny. I guess Germany's real enemies are living in the Bronx. Unfortunate incident. I'm former military and I've seen and heard similar things during training. I guess the only funny part I saw was the part about the black van. Apparently he's never seen any American TV shows portraying a stereotypical black from the ghetto and his wheels.

I know, the ememy are the terrorists at the airport :D. Maybe militaries don't think it's funny, but that's what they do... Didn't they insult his mother, btw.

Too many things taken out of context. The speech police are everywhere

Yes the DI told him his mother was in danger of being called a bad name. I always run up to soldiers with guns and insult their mother. It is funny at some levels if you think about it. Amd the pols will lose their minds over this, another way to gain attention to themselves.

Yes, absolutly fascinating, seeing the video and the reactions. Anyway, some politicians you shouldn't vote for...

I am shocked. shocked, to learn that young men and women in the armed services of the Federal Republic of Germany are encouraged to use such vulgar language.

Is 'mother......' one word or two?
