A Military Accident

Back to stories three
A Marine and a Soldier are driving opposite directions on a curvy mountain road.

The Soldier hits a patch of sand, swerves, and nails the Marine's truck. They both exit their cars with no injuries, but their vehicles are ruined.

Now, the rivalry between Army and Navy is well known, so needless to say a heated argument followed.

Then suddenly the Marine changed heart and said, "Hold on, this is dumb. It was an accident. Let's put this rivalry behind us."

The Soldier agreed this was a good idea.

So the Marine offered, "Why don't we celebrate our new friendship over a fifth of vodka? I have a bottle in the truck."

The Soldier thought this was an excellent idea.

So the Marine, being a gentleman, offered the Soldier the first drink, and told the Soldier to drink as much as he wanted.
